Compromised radio drama

Now and then, I listen to old radio dramas.  When they're well-written and acted, it's easy to lose yourself in the story and take in the suspense.  Other times, however, I think, "This story couldn't be done nearly as effectively today."  I can just imagine someone wandering into a haunted house, feeling ill at ease, and then texting someone for help.  The person's spouse, friend, or family member would then drive up and take them home. 

Three cheers for technology and safety there, but there isn't a radio drama in that.
