The same thing happened when cell phones hit the great outdoors. Nothing new except the level of technology.

Actually, now that I think about it I'm sure they had the same problem throughout history:

Egypt, ~1,000 BC: some scribe in the Pharaoh's court- "Now that people are using messenger pigeons, they feel safer wandering deeper into the desert, we've sent three times more chariots out with water than the same time last year before the birds"

Greece, 405 BC: unnammed Greek official- "That stupid heliograph is encouraging people to explore areas that they have no business going in the first place"

USA, 1838: newspaper headline- "Ignorant pioneers rely on telegraph for communication: homesteader claims "If you need help all you gotta do is find the wire and cut it, eventually somebody'll be along to help" - officials officially frustrated"

USA, 1906 - San Francisco fire captain "That damned Bell and his telephone, folk's are calling us at all hours of the day for even the most trivial fires, they even call about earthquake damage"

...you get the picture
