Living in a college town near finals week

Me: Can you tell me about the new iPhone?

Salesperson: Sure! Hey did you know that you can take two particles and quantum entangle them? Like, let’s say you take two spinning electrons, quantum entangle them and shoot one of them 500 thousand light years from the other one. You can then reverse the spin on the original and the other will reverse direction in the exact same way!

Me: Wow!

Salesperson: That allows us to communicate with each other over massive distances.

Me: Wowsers! Amazing! Hey, can I use this iPhone to call my security system to tell the dog to get off the couch?

Salesperson: Gee, I don’t know. Check our website.
