Vicki, one minor nit:
The "Internet" with a capital "I", like "The DNS" with a capital "T" (and
a capital "D"), specifically refers to the technology deployments operated
by ICANN.
For that purpose it is incorrect that "Every device connected to the
Internet has at least a unique... address associated with it.". To make a
political argument buttressing this position the cloud providers
generally, and some cloud providers very specifically, arrogate the need
to provide reverse DNS (colloqually "PTR records") with the justification
(technically correct or not) that more than one server is behind each of
their addresses (for "society" and "privacy" if not for the "children"):

Other technologies such as NAT, load balancing and virtualization, and
VPNs produce the same impact from a client as well as service perspective.
Thanks for all you do...
