Well, it's not directly mentioned, but the use of television/internet is insinuated. In Revelations chapter 11 it mentions the death of two prophets. Chapters 9, 10 and 11 read: "Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. For three and a half days men from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth."
Back in the days of the Bible, there was no existing technology which would allow people all over the world to see what happened in one place. In those days, it would be crazy for someone like me, from Australia to be able to see someone who was in Egypt. Also, I suppose it's not just a subtle reference to TV/internet but any sort of multimedia sharing device, so phones would be included in this also.
Not as directly mentioned as I remember, but still.. it's there. Pretty neat, huh?
