I'm Cal Newport, and this is Deep Questions, the show about cultivating a deep life in a distracted world.

I'm here in my deep work, HQ, joined as always by my producer Jesse.

Jesse, who just taught me something useful, complicated, I would say, from a technological

standpoint and useful.

It turns out you can share a contact on your iPhone with another person.

When you asked me how to do it, I thought you were kidding at first. And then when I realized you were

serious, I was like, we need to tell the audience this that you did not share contact. I am from an

era where sharing what this meant was, you go to your Rolodex and you flip through

until you get to the right letter and you take the card out of the Rolodex and then you go and

make a Xerox copy of that card, you fax that Xerox copy to the other person, you wait for the

fax confirmation and then you're done.

That's what I'm dealing with here.

That's my level of technology.

So, yeah, this was useful.

You could do a thing and click on a name and click on share and select your name and then, like, you have that information now.

I also have heard rumors so my wife does just, but I'll know how she does it.

You can send, like, locations on a map to someone as well.

Yes.

Like, here's where.

And then if you click on it, it loads up the map.

Yeah.

Again, I'm calling up AAA.
