It's funny, we basically have magic now

I can talk to anyone, miles away instantly, anywhere on earth. It's mental. But it's totally normal for us to make phone calls.

My wife and I were just mentioning the other day how we can have video chats with family half way around the world, for free. When we were kids making a long distance call to someone a few counties away was a big deal and we didn’t talk long because it would cost too much. Wild stuff.
