Out In The World

Upon leaving class, I do what I usually do, check my cell phone. Then I realize how I have taken this little rectangle of plastic, metal, and screen for granted. This 5 inch by 2 inch rectangle enables me to talk to people hundreds, or thousands of miles away. If I need to talk to someone I simply press a few numbered buttons and I hear their voice. And the interesting thing is that it takes the same amount of time to get in touch with someone a mile away from me and someone thousands of miles away. This can't really happen, how could two people thousands of miles away talk to each other instantaneously just by talking into a box? It can't be real. I think that mini versions of every single human being are produced and put inside these phones. When you get someone's phone number, the numbers are simply a code that selects the correct mini person. In a sense, it incorporates them into the phone, probably through teleportation. When you talk into the phone, you are talking to this mini person, not the actual person, that's just unrealistic.
