> any increase in the sophistication of the tech that exists to measure the world gives a relative benefit to corporations over individuals.

We are far more able to measure the world than we were in the middle ages, or before the civil war, or even during the world wars.

You can see how strong this claimed relative benefit and it's effects are by how the increasing ability to measure the world over that time has led people to become consistently more oppressed as time goes by.

I'm not sure if you disagree with me or not from this comment. Tech isn't the only thing that affects the relative strength of individuals vs corporations (regulation, social pressures, etc).

Also I think it's not unreasonable to argue that corporations are more powerful today than they were during any of the time periods you've listed here.
