Sadly internet is an inseparable part of modern IT slave.

Sometimes I wish there is a special prison that admits people who wants to achieve something but are too distracted to do so. It doesn't have Internet, nor does it have smart devices. It doesn't allow them out until they achieve the objectives. I'd be happy to buy its service.

its kind of unbelievable to call someone who works in an office setting a modern slave, of any sort.

Would a pair of double quotes make it better? It's more or less just a metaphor.

It's an exceptionally terrible one.
