    I watched a movie recently where they went 20 years back in time and the only discernable difference was everyone had flip phones rather than smart phones.

      I find that a lot of movies/tv shows are doing this. Cell phones just seem to be challenging for writers. In a pickle, yeah call someone. Lost, yeah you’ve got the internet man, your fine. I think the “my phone is dead” and "there’s no cell signal just got beat like a dead horse, and having characters just not answer every time something comes up makes the characters look worse.
