More than the Internet, what got me were the Cell Phone-less bits. There are a ton of episodes where the tension is largely created by not being able to get in touch with someone, or needing to find a phone or something, which is trivial now that everyone has a cellphone.
I think part of why it struck me so strongly is that I was* pretty resistant to the idea of getting a cellphone, so it's something I'm kind of sensitized to.
Also, it's kind of striking whenever you see a Pay Phone on those shows. Those are pretty rare these days.
*And still am, in many ways. Whenever my phone finally dies, I always go for the most basic, stripped down version I can get.
