We hope you like that better than us dying. For you impatient types, we'll return to normal Video Friday in two weeks, so if you have video suggestions, keep them coming as usual.

Tech-savvy farmers have been some of the earliest commercial adopters of drone technology, purchasing 45,000 drones last year alone. But if they were using the drones to check on the condition of their fields, spraying their crops, or keeping tabs on livestock, most of them were technically breaking the law. New U.S. federal rules that went into effect this summer, however, should make it easier for farmers to get a drone's-eye view of their fields. The new rules allow commercial drone operators to get certified via a written test, so long as they fly drones that meet certain weight and altitude guidelines. Before this, operators had to pay for a pilot's license and get a special exemption to use a drone, a slow and cumbersome process.

Significant technological advances have reshaped society as we know it. But the World Economic Forum (WEF) warned that while this is pushing us into "the fourth industrial revolution" and is transforming the labour markets beyond all recognition from decades ago, it will lead to a net loss of over 5 million jobs in 15 major developed and emerging economies by 2020. These countries include Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US. WEF said in its report, entitled "The Future of Jobs," which was published on Monday, that while skills and jobs displacement will affect every industry and geographical region, these job losses can be offset by employment growth in other areas. WEF estimated that 7.1 million jobs could be lost through redundancy, automation, or disintermediation, while the creation of 2.1 million new jobs, mainly in more specialised areas such as computing, math, architecture, and engineering, could partially offset some of the losses. "Without urgent and targeted action today to manage the near-term transition and build a workforce with futureproof skills, governments will have to cope with ever-growing unemployment and inequality, and businesses with a shrinking consumer base," said Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, in the report.

An American team of robots defeated an Australian rival in soccer on Monday to win the RoboCup Challenge as technical problems plagued the Australian side. The University of Texas at Austin's Austin Villa beat the University of New South Wales' Runswift 7-3 during China's 2016 World Robot Conference The University of Texas at Austin's Austin Villa beat the University of New South Wales' Runswift 7-3 during China's 2016 World Robot Conference RoboCup is an annual international robotics competition founded in 1997. It aims to promote robotics and artificial intelligence research. The official goal of the project is that by 2050 a team of fully autonomous humanoid football players will be able to compete against the most recent winning team of the real Wolrd Cup - and comply to all of Fifa's rules. 'We've been using that robot for three or four days straight, and just before the finals, it stops,' said Collette.

Keeping active can help keep pensioners healthy, but new research shows that building up muscles can boost brain power as well. Researchers in Australia found that increased muscle strength can lead to improved brain function in adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The team says the findings are important as people with MCI are at an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. With 135 million people forecast to suffer from dementia globally by 2050, researchers say their findings have implications for the type and intensity of exercise that is recommended for the growing ageing population. MCI defines people who have noticeably reduced cognitive abilities such as poorer memory, but are still able to live independently.

A software platform that mines data and uses machine learning to boost household energy efficiency has taken out top honours at Energy Hack 2016 – a two-day energy and technology brainstorm held in Melbourne over the weekend. The event, hosted by the University of Melbourne's Energy Institute and upstart online electricity retailer Powershop, brought together 80 participants to form 20 teams to unlock ideas and stimulate entrepreneurship in the energy industry. Eight judges saw pitches for 13 creative technology ideas, ranging from an energy management chatbot, to a matchmaking service for renewable energy project owners and investors, to an app to educate primary school children, and an energy load matching algorithm. The winners, a team of PhD students called Planet Lovers, were chosen for their design of a platform that uses data mining techniques and machine learning to help consumers use energy more efficiently. "We believe that existing energy services don't use the full potential of big data to provide deep insights for consumers," said Planet Lovers co-founder Zahra Ghafoori.

The next time you open the door to find the pizza you ordered (via an app of course), you may not find a delivery person standing on your doorstep. Expect to see a drone dropping off your dinner. And perhaps that dinner was by prepped, at least in part, by robots. Eventually, some of your pizza's toppings may be lab grown-- but in the meantime, even those fresh-off-the-farm ingredients have a good chance of reaching your fork via robotics. Today, automation is shaping up to be our generation's food revolution.

Professor Christopher Bartneck never believed his research paper, written by Apple's iOS autocomplete, would be accepted for a nuclear physics conference An academic who jokingly wrote a research paper written entirely by Apple's iOS autocomplete - and was subsequently filled with nonsense - has been accepted to present his findings at a nuclear physics conference. Christopher Bartneck, an associate professor at the University of Canterbury's Human Interface Technology laboratory in New Zealand, was stunned to discover he had been successful in securing a place at the conference, which takes place in America next month. 'I started a sentence with'Atomic' or'Nuclear' and then randomly hit the autocomplete suggestions,' wrote Bartneck in a blog post on Thursday. 'The text really does not make any sense.' Bartneck's mischievous side was fired up after receiving an invitation from the International Conference on Atomic and Nuclear Physics, which will be held in Atlanta in November.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and the growing maturity of cloud-based business software promise to dramatically change the role of the accountant over the next five to 10 years. Savvy professionals should already be reskilling themselves in anticipation of the shift in the market. The Finance Indaba is taking place today and tomorrow – it's the perfect platform for finance professionals to gear up and learn about the changing accounting world from leaders in the industry He says that the arrival of smart software bots, paired with the affordability of cloud-based business applications, will change the way that accountants work as vividly as the first spreadsheet and accounting software packages did. "Financial software is getting smarter, more affordable and easier to use, so more and more of the admin accountants typically do for the business is becoming automated," Cohen says. "What's more, intuitive software paired with AI and other new developments, could empower small business owners do more of the tasks they used to entrust to an accountant."
