electronic relatives 

A term used for relatives with whom you exchange texts or emails but whom you generally do not see for in-person visits.

I am in close touch with my extended family back East, I refer to them as my electronic relatives.

Relativistic Electronics

Circuitry and components specifically designed to function predictably when moving at relativistic velocities or in strong gravitational gradients. The problem is that at high speeds, lengths contract and magnetic fields transform, which could cause standard circuits to fail. These systems would need to account for the relativistically-induced electric fields from moving magnets, use time-symmetric logic gates, or be built from materials whose properties are invariant under Lorentz transformation. It's electrical engineering where Maxwell's equations are fully merged with Special Relativity.

Example: "The probe's sensors didn't work until they upgraded to relativistic electronics. At 0.9c, the Hall effect sensors were reading garbage because the moving magnetic fields created huge unexpected voltages. The new circuits treat spacetime as a single, warped component of the system." Relativistic Electronics
