I would be curious to know how much technologies like cell phones and the Internet have impacted the plots of King's books? It would seemingly make them more difficult to write since every character has almost instant access to a phone or information that can help them out of a bind. Horror movies now have that obligatory scene where the characters have to hold up the phone and confirm they "have no signal." Something the younger kids find more terrifying to be without than confronting a maniac in the woods. In reading some older books, you come across a lot of places where you say to yourself don't they have a cell phone or computer? Then you realize it was written in the 70s. It kind of makes me wonder how much different those books would be if written today.
