Originalism would also have trouble because phones didn't exist when the Frames wrote or the 18th Century public read the Constitution.
Originalism is funny, by the way. By its tenets, if you don't like what the Constitution says, you can pass an Amendment with the exact same words as the Constitution but those words would have new, different meaning.
