there really were no cellphones when Seinfeld started but by the time it ended they were fairly wide spread yet the show never really acknowledged them.

Today though shows like The Wire and How I Meet Your Mother are constructing entire plot lines around cell phone use.

It is fascinating to see shows struggle with the ideas that arise around technology.
