Your words are unclear.
Please explain "smapho."

[HE'S A BOOMER, EVERYONE. WE CANNOT HIDE IT BEHIND HIS GOOD LOOKS ANY LONGER.]

[kaientai]

I bet it's short for smartphone!

[ he knows some things!! ]

[strikingchords]

"Smart," as opposed to...?

[kaientai]

Oh, that's an easy one.

[ because he used regular phones before. thanks, time travel! ]

In the past, phones could only make calls between each other. Voice only! You couldn't text messages or use them to look things up on the internet. Even before that, they had to be connected directly to an actual wire to do anything. Having all those features and being able to send things through the air somehow is what makes smartphones "smart", I guess? Human innovation is really amazing!

[unseen, Lan Wangji just stares at his phone for a minute at this quick rundown of Alexander Graham Bell and onwards. it's... somewhat lost on him, honestly, but he's willing to take it at face value. at least Gen X seems to be willing to give him the rundown? A for effort...]

Thank you for your explanation.

[kaientai]

No problem! I get it, it's a lot to deal with when everything's new and there's a bunch of words people throw around that you never heard before.

[ sometimes in another language even! ]

It's worth picking up, at least. I bet there's a right way and a wrong way to use these.

make sure it catches on so we can stop writin the full thing out k
its too long

[kaientai]

Too long? But it's only typing...

[nemuru]

too long

[kaientai]

Right... well, I guess I don't get it since typing is always way faster and easier than writing things down by hand.
