Jobs That Technology Has Made Obsolete

Technology has a way of improving our lives in many amazing ways. Technology can also be very disruptive, especially when it comes to jobs. Many jobs both old and new are slowly being taken away by computers, robotics and improvements in transportation. When it’s cheaper or more efficient to put a piece of hardware or software to work, most often times a human will find his or herself out of a job. Heck, even many news sites are now using robots to write articles just like this one. Yikes!

Starting with jobs in the early 1900’s this gallery will look at jobs that technology has made obsolete.
