Following on from the last three posts, which were designed to bring back smiles to everybody’s faces. The next Smile Step is set up a robust system enable people to enjoy life in a fair and humble way.
That used to be about reading, writing and arithmetic and they are still important facilitating skills to learn,but the world has moved on and AI can do things we never imagined. So understanding and using AI is the new core skill we should be teaching our children.
Why aren’t all our schoolchildren given a tablet computer when they start school, just as they were given paper and pencils? Access to the internet is now an open door to a treasure trove of knowledge. Rather than being endlessly distracted by computer games, children need to be helped to discover all the new wonders of the world.
Teachers need to inspire curiosity. Encourage creativity and original thinking. Most of all they need to champion innovation. But, children won’t find it all on their own with a tablet computer or an AI friend. Half of every school week should be spent interacting with other children in team sports and music and the arts subjects.
Maybe older people should go back to school too and learn how to use computers and tell the children about the olden days🤡🤡 Things like 12xtables and spelling tests and punishments like lines and detention and the cane☹️
School days should be fun and a doorway to a fulfilling life🤡

DANGER!!!!
I am cautous and wish to pour a little cold water over JOHN;s Ideas, and the LLLP if they back/support his ideas without CAUTION for pretection of the Very Young and elderly of our society. Concerning LAPTOPS?
It is quote those of school age and ols age should have access to The ‘ WORLD ON KNOWLEDGE; without predjuice on a LAPTOP, with the AIDS OF ;ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE’? -A..I-
I beg one to stop and think, very hard! WE all ready have this feature, and it is on ones mobile phonr service> Yet the programmes on the Mobile phone taken from the ‘INTERNET’ are full of ADVERTS/PROMOTIONS- some good some not so good selling and encouraging one to click over and visit that site being promoted.
MY belief is this is corruption of those of age (young/old] or mental alertness to make a reasoned coherant decision of the information they are about to recieve and digest.
It is A-I- a minefield and an intelligence gathering platform centre for governments, and Other political/commercial parties, which can be, maybe consideeed, as fact finding of the society and the nation/country they which to control/influaence and govern/conquer. Artificial Information is a doulbe edged sword, and in my mind and should be approached with extreme caution. We no longer live in a free world,?Our minds and thoughts are being controlled!!!
Please, what is/are free think/thoughts and free speech and belifes that one has to encouage???
Growing old is like a conundrum, not a misterary , But beliefs have i lived a life.
The web Blob by John and the things that we / one would wish for our younger children, is not a dream/ But fact!
I have been through the corrections and teachings of my parents and school, growing into a teen ager. Then as an apprentice, and my early 20’s work and my work colleagues and Molly my wife, going out enjoying life using the standards I had been taught to be hospitable, polite to our children and my fellow citezens and work colleagues, and then with a young family how to be considerate and respectful, helpful to the older generation, those retired and of pensionable age.
Now I am there at the door of old age, less mobile, less mental agility, and the modern age of today, I ask myself how do I behave, and whats more while I can have the nouse to vote, what do I vote for???
Above I was critical of the modern world and its artificial inteligence, and how do we educate our children? I just hope with the right to vote that I still have I make the educated choices that lead our children, and young politicians and leaders of society to maintain the standards I knew growing up under my parents still are right for the future, and we do not allow our/ my predjudices/fears to unbalance and the safety proceedures of our society.
