I was wondering what the level of technology was in the first book, and here we get a little bit better of an idea about it. Apparently cars do exist in some form, because thats what Snow was traveling in, and phones are also around because Katniss says shes got one in the house. Although she doesnt have many people to call
I'm pretty sure that at this point you have already been introduced to the hovercrafts.
So it's just logical that cars and phones would exist in some form >_>
