What ruins a good Bollywood comedy ?

Why Bollywood doesn't make good comedy movies anymore?  One can easily blame various factors like directors, producers or actors. Some self acclaimed film critics on Facebook will blame the audience for watching below average movies and not going to watch "critically acclaimed" movies. Well hate to break it to you but every one is wrong. Let me tell you the reason. Technology.

Don't agree? Let me explain it to you by taking three examples.
First the classic Andaz Apna Apna. Entire plot is based on Salman and Amir getting confused by the identities of the leading ladies. What ruins the plot now? Facebook.
Next Hera Pheri. Plot is based on wrong number. What ruins the plot now? Truecaller in cellphones.
Lastly Dhamaal. Entire story takes place cause the leading men don't know their way to Goa. What happens now? Google maps bitch.

And yeah I just defended bollywood. And no I am not turning into my mom and blaming technology for everything wrong that happens in my life.
