Yeah, that's right. [ She nods with utmost confidence in herself before clearing her throat. ]
You see, the components of a phone - or to be more specific, a smart phone - are somewhat similar to that of a computer. Of course, the specs of a computer are much higher, as well as the memory, hard drive, CPU... amongst other things. But the most important thing that they have in common is the circuit board, or rather the hardware. While the size of the circuit board of a computer and a laptop are different, it doesn't change their functionality by much -- as long as the phone has enough memory and ram to run the software, the phone itself can run it. But since a phone is limited in its functionality, it can't do certain tasks that you'd be able to do on a regular computer. Does that make ay sense?
[Larry listens with matching confidence, nodding enthusiastically as Iniaba explains to let her know he's listening.
He doesn't look confused by the time she's done so that's gotta be a good sign.]
I think so, yeah! So it's got the essentials that a computer needs to run shoved into it, but it doesn't have all the extra bits that make it as powerful as a computer 'cause that'd make it way too big.
[He sheepishly scratches at his hair, hoping he didn't just make an idiot out of himself.]
I dunno what to tell you though...'cause I'm pretty sure I've never heard of those before, and I like to think I try to stay on top of tech stuff! Girls like it when you have all the latest gadgets, y'know.

It's not that hard.

[He's asking way too much, mostly of himself because like hell he'd even understand if she did explain to him.]

[He looks pretty darn proud of himself!]
That's so awesome that they figured all this out. Our cool new flip-phones back home look like dinosaurs compared to these tablet thingies!

What year are you from...?

Thankfully Larry's been introduced to the time weirdness already, but this is weird in a totally different way.]
S-Seriously? And you had these tablet things?! Man, I guess Japan is as advanced as they say! I'm from Los Angeles in the US.
no subject
And no, I'm pretty sure America had it, too. Apple made a lot of tablets, and they're not a Japanese company.

[Ah yes, his priorities come into light.]

[ Inaba hums to herself before frowning. Well, there's only a few ways that it could be like this-- ]
Maybe your world's just that different from mine.
no subject
Different from yours...? But we're both from Earth.
