Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was in for a surprise today after being introduced to a strange new contraption known as the 'telephone.'

The New York congresswoman was completely stumped when a Capitol Hill aide demonstrated the concept of one person speaking into one end of a device, and someone else hearing the words come out of the other-end. AOC stared in amazement as the aide explained how this marvel of modern technology worked.

“This is astonishing! What’s black magic is this?” she explained. “We have the capacity to speak to people, no matter their location, without having to see them face-to-face?”

AOC later called her family, exclaiming to them, “It’s like being in two places at once!” She is now a self-proclaimed 'phone enthusiast' and is asking her constituents to call her with their requests.
