It's Not Just Cell Phones
Authors often complain that the existence of cell phones means that characters in danger can summon help too easily, unless the author makes the character lose the phone, or puts him/her in a location without cell phone reception, or has the battery run out.
I'm working on a novel in which the family doesn't have a television, and so should miss some vital information, except that they can stream it over a computer. Luckily (for me, not them) they don't have Wifi.
I suspect we're going to see more books set in the 1980's so as to avoid this problem.
