Since the phrase "the right of the people" is common to several amendments, and not a dependent clause, its meaning is just as clear in each. If the means of the time were the metric used, any technology used in furtherance of the 1st Amendment is open to being banned.
Additionally, the 4th Amendment could contemplate only physical searches and seizures, so technological means of monitoring, searching, and seizing would be perfectly permissible if your metric were used.
Those of the most authoritarian stripe would be incredibly pleased if your metric for determining what each Amendment covers were the one in current use. That is actually the goal of many, because it allows for the maximum amount of protections to be stripped from the Bill of Rights.
