Terrorism stuff is so annoying. You shouldn't need that to make a story interesting.

The thing with the tech stuff is that most of the concerns can usually be dispelled with a single line (Internet history? he used incognito mode. Cell phone? out of service, all that kind of thing) so if the change required to get around it is so small, I don't feel like I can get mad about it. That's me though.

I don't think it's quite that easy. First, I'm not really sure that a lot of problems are solved by knowing someone's search history? You'd also have to assume a plot like upthread, where the setting is so remote that you can't do what people would normally do, i.e. go someplace where you DO have cell service, borrow someone else's cell phone if your battery is out, etc.

It's more that cell phones make it really, really easy to communicate with someone else quickly, even when you don't know where they are exactly. A lot of conflicts in older novels are based on the fact that you need to tell someone something, but they're not there and/or you don't know where they are and both of you need to be near a known landline. It also allows people to research tons of stuff that they'd have difficulty finding out about in the pre-cell and internet days.
