Cell phones save long-distance relationships

In an entry by Joko Taniguchi in Keitai Log - an occasional Web diary by a group of Tokyo college students who are researching the changing role of cell phones - "cell phones give people in a long-distance relationship the illusion of closeness, no matter how far they are actually apart. In addition, the recent developments in camera-equipped cell phones and television phones help them feel even closer to each other. Seeing what a significant other is doing and seeing through photo e-mails allow people to feel more connected to their boyfriend or girlfriend."
