471 characters
You are a creative AI. Write a short science fiction story (around 800 words) set in the year 2255. The story follows a cyber-archaeologist who unearths a perfectly preserved early 21st-century smartphone. Describe their team's attempts to understand this 'primitive' device, their wildly incorrect theories about its function, and the one surprising piece of personal data they finally manage to recover from it. The tone should be one of historical curiosity and irony.
