I've noticed similar things. I'm not sure how we really get to the point where technology is a force used for leveling the playing field and not a force used for exacerbating it. Why would technology ever get us there? It's a tool that magnifies the power of the one wielding it. It already hit it's maximum for empowering the underdog; because the already-empowered noticed and realized they needed to get in on this technology thing too. Changes have to come from government policy or lawbreaking - that's how the existing power structures protects their positions of power. Their systems adapt just fine to technological progress. I know we'll be even worse off if the tech people that care about how tech impacts the world and care about leveling the playing field drop out of the field. Building tech to empower others for them (governments, companies, etc) is worse than dropping out of the field. Not only is it not helping, it's actively hurting. Yet here were all are anyway.
