I believe it's possible to argue in any age, with or without cell phones.  Appeal to technology is just a veiled appeal to authority.  This is why we call it the technocracy.  There is no reason why cell phones would inherently help us get closer to the truth... quite the opposite!  There's plenty of evidence to deduce that cell phones can actually obscure the truth.   Hopefully you are not involved with emboldening this latter position...
