Are Robots Taking Our Jobs?


The question is, “Are robots taking our jobs?"

I read an article that claimed that by 2030 most workers will lose their jobs to automation.

With companies across the world merging and developing more automated machines, or robots. These will affect the workplace.

Whilst issues around pay and rights for workers continue to frustrate company owners, then it’s the workers that will suffer eventually, because they will be replaced by automation or a robot!

For robots don’t request, accuse, expect or demand anything from an employer and that will be mankind’s downfall.

And once automation and robots take over, how will we co-exist?

How are we to survive without jobs and an income?

What role will we play, in this new automated and robotic world?

We should be thinking of future roles to play as 2030 will soon be upon us, if not we will appear in the history books.

Buy hey, I’m no expert.

What do you think?

The Troll


I read the children’s book called, ‘The Troll,’ last week.

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by David Roberts.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book that tells the tale of a troll and some pirates.

It’s a hilarious story about a troll that lived under a bridge and pirates that lived on a pirate ship.

Trolls liked to eat goats, but unfortunately no goats ever walked over this trolls bridge so the troll had to eat fish instead.

Now fed up with eating fish he wanted to eat anything but fish.

But when he finds creatures to eat, they all tell him about the goats on the next bridge, following their advice he goes from bridge to bridge in search of these goats.

The pirates on the other hand had a treasure map but after digging for the treasure on numerous islands they realised that either the map was wrong, or they’d forgotten which island the treasure was buried on. Also, they too were fed up of eating fish.

So, what do you think happened when the troll and the pirates met-up?

To find out you’ll either have to read the book or watch the video on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think?


It’s a great book for young children, I’d recommend it.

Is Air Pollution Solely Caused By Us?


The question is, “Is air pollution solely caused by us?"

Experts claim that humans are causing air pollution.

Different countries around the world use fossil fuels for different uses, for example; to drive, fly, sail, cook or heat homes, unfortunately it’s contributing to air pollution and causing climate change.

If we continue with fossil fuels it will affect our environment and also our health.

However, whilst experts continue to pick on the general public about their contribution to air pollution, I’ve realised that there’s another source which isn’t human related, and that’s UFO’s.

For years unidentified flying objects UFO’s have been reported by credited witnesses; military, pilots, astronauts and the police, so logic indicates that these too are contributing and polluting the air that we breathe.

Also, with more sightings being recorded I believe that they are now the biggest contributors to air pollution, and not us.

But hey I’m no expert.

What do you think?

Sugarlump And The Unicorn


I read the children’s book called, ‘Sugarlump and the Unicorn.’

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Lydia Monks.

It’s a delightful rhyming children’s picture book about a rocking horse called Sugarlump and a magical Unicorn.

When Sugarlump wished to be out in the big wild world instead of a children’s bedroom a Unicorn grants him his wish.

How wonderful, Sugarlump found himself out in the big wild world living in the countryside as a farmer’s horse, but as the work became too hard he began to wish again.

He wished that he could gallop and became a racehorse with lots of jumps instead, and so the Unicorn granted his wish, but alas the jumps became more difficult so he wished he could dance instead.

That wish came true and now he appeared in a circus dancing show, but he was sad when children cheered and so he wished he was back at home instead.

It does have a happy ending but to find out what happens in the end you’ll either have to read the book or watch the video on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think?


So, remember be careful what you wish for!

A lovely story that encourages children to dream big.

Is Alien Bacteria Living On The International Space Station?


The question, “Is alien bacteria living on the International Space Station?

I read an article that claimed that Russian cosmonauts on the International Space Station or ISS for short had found some bacteria on the hull.

So, could this have been brought from Earth?

Apparently not, as none was found at the launch site.

So, with this in mind the only place bacteria could’ve got onto the hull is from space.

But how?

Was it collected during the space flight?

Or is it possible that an alien species landed on the hull, leaving the bacterial residue by accident?

But hey I’m no expert.

What do you think?

Freddie And The Fairy


I read the children’s book called, ‘Freddie and the Fairy.’

This children’s book was written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Karen George.

It’s a delightful children’s picture book about a boy called Freddie and a Fairy.

When Freddie finds a fairy called Bessie-Belle stuck in a tree he helps free her, and in return she grants him many wishes.

But the fairy Bessie-Belle couldn’t hear very well and Freddie always mumbled.

What a pair, they tried and tried to understand each other and so of course Freddie never got what he’d asked or wished for.

The fairy queen intervened to teach Freddie some rules in speaking, so Bessie-Belle could then understand the words that he was speaking.

Now Freddie’s happy now that all his wishes have been granted, but if he’d used one to help the fairies hearing, maybe he’d have got his wishes sooner.

It’s a lovely story that encourages understanding and patience.

So, why not read the book or watch the video on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think?


So, remember be mindful and patient to others unable to hear or that have trouble talking.
