When we go to a museum, we see things from the past, and we learn about how people used to live. When you see a train or a plane in a museum, they look very different to the planes and trains of today. What will museums of the future show? They will show the planes and trains that we think are modern now. To visitors in the future these things will look old! Where are we? These moons of people doing their jobs. These places really boring. Yes, how strange! Look, there's an artist, a businessman and a businesswoman. What about the guide white coat? Don't you say, it's a dentist. Yeah, that's right. Another a farmer, a cleaner, what about that woman with a hat on? Well, I guess she's an engineer, she's checking something, isn't she? Emm, yeah, that's right. And this guide in the blue uniform. That's a mechanic. And that's a computer programmer. My grandpa is a computer programmer. Something strange about this, this is a kind of museum. We're looking at west worlds of people doing normal jobs. Why would a museum want to show people doing new jobs? I think in the future, they are showing this jobs because but the people who live here. These jobs are from the past. Ha? You mean in this world, there were no cleaners anymore and no mechanics, no farmers. That's silly. I'm not sure it so silly. I think Phoebe is right. We're in the future, a future without these jobs. I loved to know what year this is. This is the year 2531. 2531? I can't believe it. Is it correct that we are in the year 2531 and these jobs don't exist anymore. That's correct. So who works on forms? Who helps people when they have a toothache? Robots do everything. These jobs do not exist anymore. This museum shows the things that don't exist anymore. And who are you? Fill in question and a robot. Wow, let's see what other things don't exist anymore. Yes, let's.

The trouble with Orangehead XR-97 The children walked around the museum. There were some sports cars and motorbikes at the end of it. 'Amazing!' Alex thought. People don't use cars and motorbikes any more!' 'Boring,' said Patrick, I'm going, 'Where?' shouted Phoebe. Patrick pointed at a door with a Don't enter sign on it. 'Let's open that door,' he said. 'Patrick, no!' said Phoebe. Patrick didn't listen. He went into the room. Alex and Phoebe followed him. Inside, sat a big robot with an orange head. It was at a computer with its back to the children. 'Tomorrow I'll be master of the world!' laughed the robot. The children were scared. 'What can we do?' Patrick whispered. 'Let's get out of here,' said Phoebe. They left the room and heard a sound coming from a submarine. Help! Help me! What's that?' Patrick asked. There was a man trapped inside. He looked very scared. How can we get him out?' asked Phoebe. Patrick ran towards the room with the models. A minute later, he was back with a big box of tools from the mechanic. The children opened the door and set the man free. His name was Don and he was the programmer of the robots. 'Orangehead XR-97 was my best robot,' Don said sadly. 'But he's dangerous. He locked me in the submarine. He wants to take over the world. If we don't stop him, he will destroy everyone.' The children were very worried. 'What can we do?' asked Alex.

Don had an idea, 'Every morning from 6.55 to 7 o'clock, all the robots shut down for five minutes to charge their batteries. That's our only chance. But now we have to hide. Quick!' 'Hide? Where?' said Patrick. 'Get on a motorbike or in a car. But don't move,' said Don. Don climbed back into the submarine. When the robots came to clean the room, they saw two boys in the sports car and a girl on the motorbike, but they thought they were wax models. The next morning at 6.55, Don and the children entered the computer room. It was full of very quiet robots including Orangehead XR-97. Don switched on the computer and worked very quickly. At 7 o'clock there was a loud noise. The Time Travellers saw flames and smoke coming out of Orangehead XR-97. 'I destroyed it!' Don said. He turned around to thank the children and saw a bright glowing yellow light. The children waved goodbye and stepped into the light. They were gone in a flash.
