which is much like my local empire, technology replacing manpower. the more things change, and all that.

honestly, i hope we see more of it. not colonialism and imperialism NECESSARILY, but technolgoy replacing manpower. more advanced and autonomous weapons, less people shooting them. more automated factories and robots, less underpaid workers.

of course, this brings about other changes. like a requirement to retrain the workforce or have a generation of welfare pensioners. the requirement to either develop more jobs in the science and tech industry for the next generation, or to breed alot less.
