To summarize, the internet as a communication tool for and by the people has been so largely displaced by algorithms and bots that it for all intents and purposes is dead. It's sole purposes is to create consumers out of users.

Nada. Not a single thing, and only a few bits of chert and flakes. A couple of paleo-maybes, one, a slender piece of slate that shows signs of napping into an arrowhead shape, perhaps a tool of convenience, but not an arrowhead, and a poor scraper (given the edge).
