Let's see... Basic Robotics was a win, but not Financial Software (yet). I definitely traded Research Computers for Manual Turrets - did the trade with Archangel (Adv. Psych for CompSci I) go ahead?

$1000 into the development of
Automated Factories, an
Applied, Economic technology. Automated factories employ simple robots to undertake simple, repetitive or dangerous tasks, freeing workers to be employed in more complex areas or to be educated for more advanced, better-paying jobs. Although the robotics are automated, they must still be supervised to ensure correct operation; they will not function independently.
The aim of this technology is to produce one-off buildings (one per territory) that give a high return on investment. Base Tech:

'Armies'Everything is suspiciously quiet.
Factory Automation
One of the great fears of automation is that it will cause massive unemployment by obviating the need to employ those workers that machinery replaces. Whilst the implementation of automation will cause job losses, the fear of widespread unemployment has never arisen in the past two centuries that automation has spread across the world. The reduced unit cost of the items produced in these types of factories will increase customer purchasing power, allowing them to purchase more goods and services than previously possible - and creating more jobs in the process.
Automation will free workers for education (particularly if we look into funding the necessary initiatives) and expand the economy as a whole. There is little threat to overall job security, at least with the automation technology of today; when artificial intelligence finally replaces many of the skilled jobs of today, that may be a concern. But not one for quite some time to come.

Financial Software Initiative
As much as we profess to our clients that we remain a globally-competitive financial powerhouse, much of this propaganda is undermined by our frankly outdated financial and economic tools. By replacing our existing banking and investment software and servers with new state-of-the-art equipment, we should be able to construct centralised financial institutions able to rival those of the rest of the world such as major banks or stock markets.
