Cell-Phones

Modern cell-phones are so advanced that not even the people designing them know all the things they can do that could make their lives easier if they only spent the forty-eight or so months learning the mechanics of each application's feature set. If you have a modern cell-phone, then you could for example, just by a series of taps (22 to be precise) have a pizza delivered to anywhere in Southwestern Kansas.
The cellular networks are now so well interconnected that anyone in the world with a cell-phone is just a call away, providing that both parties are simply standing within the approximately 4% of populated land on Earth with cell-network coverage.
The list of things you can do with your phone goes on and on...
You can; Use your phone as a television remote control for the virtual TV in your phone. Receive text-messages updating you on traffic conditions in your area. Tweet 9-1-1 from the wreckage of the vehicle you crashed when you were reading texts about traffic conditions. Post a video to Youtube from an emergency services helicopter of you being placed in an emergency services helicopter. Play retro video-games from a hospital bed. Call the dead, and have them deliver a pizza to anywhere in southwestern Kansas.
