The internet has created irreversible changes in how we interract, even how our brains work, but their real lament is that the leftist overlords do not have complete control over it and, by extention, us.

Agreed. I was just commenting to my kids about it - this will change society for the worse, as people don’t develop the one-on-one skills. My kids are still pretty bad with it, but at least when they have friends over they keep the cell phones in the background.
6 to 8 years ago was probably when my kids finally got cell phones. When the girls would have friends over, we made it a rule that the cell phones weren’t supposed to be out. (They would have a sleep-over, and everyone would be quiet, doing something on their own phones!).
But - my kids have gotten worse over time. But not too bad. The only thing I do on my phone is a few texts, calls, weather, traffic, and check into FR for the latest posts. (I haven’t figured out, nor want to, know how to post or access my account on my phone!).
Oh - and youtube music and once-in-awhile a video if I’m travelling. And the search engine. (Heh - so quite a lot.) BUT - no f***-ing games, no Twitter, Facebook, etc.)
