[@ProPro]In the old world, people would communicate with portable hand held devices over vast distances. However, little did they know that it caused minor radiation to their bodies! THE FOOLS! We are far more advanced now, with safe ways to communicate long distances by putting cups on strings and speaking into the cups. You'll only have an 80% chance of radiation poisoning now!

Incorrect. The technology of the Fallout world never created cellular telephones by never leaving vacuum tube computerized technology. Short wave radios are the closest they had to cell phones. You're right about cups and strings, though. Clearly the safest, most advanced method of communication available!
