you don't understand, the entire concept of "big tech" was a direct outgrowth of military research and development, going back to before the invention of radios and electricity. the first corporations were military/government/banking affairs (modern era = dutch east indies/british east indies companies). their version of big tech was drawing accurate maps and improving ships and cannons and building techniques and chemistry.  in the modern era...look up the history of silicon valley...rca and bell telephone and burroughs counting machine corporations.
