This has happened a lot to me, both personally and when reading to my children. Just the other day (I think it was Blyton's "Five on Kirrin Island Again") my daughter asked why they couldn't use their cell phones to call for help? There was also all the domestic staff in Christie's novels that made me check the publication date when I first read them in the late 80ies. I could go on :-)
