When the configuration and debugging is done, she’ll be relaxing with a swim or out in her garden. But nothing quite beats cooking or the great all-time classic of watching TV!
News of the Week
The world will need to be retrained due to artificial intelligence
More than 120 million workers throughout the world will need to be retrained in the next three years due to artificial intelligence, according to an IBM survey. "Upskilling" these workers will be a big challenge as workers today require more training than ever to learn new skills — 36 days now, compared to just three days in 2014. And often skills most valued by employers – ‘soft skills’ such as communication and ethics – take more time to develop.

Delivery Drones Problem in Australia
Delivery drones have been deemed “loud and obtrusive” by a Federal Government analysis of the noise they produce, ABC News reports. The divisive aircrafts were extensively tested for the first time in Canberra and regularly exceeded the residential area’s daytime noise standard, as they accumulated frequent community complaints. The drones were recorded at 69 decibels from 15 metres away, a level that’s comparable to a booming television and were clearly audible from inside “well-insulated homes.” The government will next call for public submissions on the issue.

Working During Your Commute?
Should you be compensated for the hours you spend working during your commute? ABC News writes that while many workers admit to sending emails or performing admin tasks on the way to and from the office, most were not willing to raise this with their employer because they felt it was a part of their normal jobs. A recent survey reveals commutes can affect job satisfaction, but evidence also shows high-trust, flexible environments work better for employees, and can even help solve issues such as congestion in major cities.
