Measure of power is that by how many people you can make work for you.
That was then.
Now not so much.
How many peoples life's you can crush and the amount of production that you control, regardless of what that production entails seems more industrially appropriate.
Better than bad, good = no production costs that still brings out a profit. All economy for dummies know this, even their friends.
Digital bubbles form, creating digital money, transferred across a sea of informational servers and protected firewall barriers. That was only the beginning.
Forgetting it without people, that's never a good thing.
Manufactured machines, bacterial food production plants, cloned pets, designer babies, and MaidBots with optional SexSlave2.8 programming and parts.
Too far ahead, step back a moment, before Halo became real.
Universal political action anywhere nearer then before? Aren’t we supposed to be globally connected?
Connected to whom and for what again?
Purposes and motivations are relevant.
Conclusion, measure of power is how many networks you control, both the analog and digital.
