Linking Up

Probably, the best thing I like about Japanese cell phones is their ability to use infrared, or 赤外線通信 (sekigaisentsuushin). Usually people have a phone number and an e-mail address. Every time you want to exchange that information it would be a pain to type it in. With the infrared, you just let the phones connect via infrared, and email address and phone number are sent to the other person. This is old technology here, but it is cool actually getting to use it!
