The Future Door (2011)
“One thing he observed was that people in the future tried to do way too many things all at once. The woman who drove the car was trying to hold a conversation, steer the motorcar, and type messages into a small rectangular device, all at the same time. And Griffin could tell by the swerving of the car, and the frightened honks of other drivers, that she wasn’t doing it very well.
Rupert noted the device and asked the woman about it, and the woman laughed, complimenting him again on his “ability... to stay in character.”
“It’s only a 4G phone,” she explained. “I’ll be upgrading as soon as I can afford it.”
Rupert didn’t know what she meant by “4G,” but he did brighten considerably when he found out that the tiny device was a telephone that operated without the use of wires. The woman allowed him to look at it, and when he passed it over to Griffin for examination, Griffin was able to get a look at a date that was displayed on its tiny, glowing screen.
