If you start getting into this type of argument, as to the framers not having modern advances in mind when writing the Constitution and amendments, you're getting into a whole mess of issues. You could make arguments on how to limit free speech over the internet and a few other things.
I understand what you're saying, I just don't think you want to start going down that road.
