Nailed it: Twooter, Spacebook, TokTik.

Devolution - whatever you call it - in the West seems to be a fact in
many fields. Whereas intellectually and when it comes to patents
Asians are getting a lot better over the last years. 2021 more than
50% of patent filings [*] came from Asia (China 25.1%, Japan 18.1%,
Republic of Korea 7.5%), USA 21.5% and Germany 6.2% - this is a total
reverse from the numbers of 1994: US were No.1, Germany #2, Japan #4,
Korea #18, China #21.

But yes: Let's all be happy with a few butttons to press.
