Maybe I'm wrong but the Internet, expanded government powers, cars, and frivolous litigation are definitely all things that occurred post-1914 aka after Woodrow Wilson's presidency roughly, when the executive branch began to expand massively and set a precedent for state and local governments to do the same. Our ancestors from the 1800s weren't harassed like this unless they were Puritans maybe
