Jobs for our Children in the next 10-20 years from now due to technology

Hi everyone, I can't remember if I had done a post about our children with jobs in the near future or not but I will do one anyways.

Just wanted to post this about our children with what jobs could be around in their generation to come. I want to know if any parent has any ideas of what your child could be working at if technology or AI took over most work places in the next 10-20 years from now.

We are now in this day of age have now become so tech frenzy with laptops, Ipads, Iphones, Smartphones, etc that this has become the norm in our society. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what jobs could be like in years to come. I am guilty because I use my laptop most days to check emails,etc but I am sure that having screens at the face all the time is not good for anyone's head or brain literally.

Does anyone have any thoughts about this perhaps? Or any parents that have children that could have concerns about what your child or children could be doing in a way of a job in years ahead?

Hi neighbours,

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.

As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.

Did everyone notice that youtube was shut for apparently for 2 hours I believe. I will leave the links in this comment section below. This person I am giving this youtube link to everyone here says that youtube was shut down because of man in uniform or something about to hit the moon. So apparently this video went viral and was posted everywhere online, then the youtube outage occurred. Other theories youtube shut down because of the moon itself. Who knows? Here's the links anyways:
