To this point the Supreme Court and various courts are always trying to figure out how our rights work in today's world. Especially in terms of speech, searches, and such. The whole bio metric unlocking of phones have been a huge issue with various cases going various ways.
I think people trying to be "purest" never do holistically when looking at the constitution only when they want it to back up their argument. The idea that people hundreds of years ago had all the answers I think someday will be viewed as insane. While it's great that the document is hard to change, I think again no one could have seen how divisive things would become today.
Yet the Constitution and it's amendments are the foundation for the most successful nation this world has ever produced. Of course modern inventions and events require the documents to be interpreted in their effect on said inventions and events. But the foundation is a solid one as it is built on a timeless principle, that the government should answer to the people and not the other way around.
