“It Is Inevitable”: 27 Professions That May Soon Disappear, As Shared By People In This Thread

The title of the article implies that at some point we needed them in the first place.

Aren't needed now

People need to stop watching/ buying their products etc .It's 2023 time to stop making stupid people famous and start following those that are making a positive change in the world.Its simple really..people like the Kardashians only exist because people show interest.

Right! What is it exactly that the Kardashians do?

It's not real anyway...

"When the jester sang for the King and Queen / In a coat he borrowed from James Dean" 🎶

We don't even need them now.

Dito...

very annoying

But who will tell me if my car warranty is about to expire?

OMG yes please !!!

Cell phones enable us to see who is calling and it’s ‘click,’ as soon as ‘hi I’m calling from.’…. Being removed from calling lists helps. Not subscribing with your phone number helps although Rotodiallers neatly sidestep this. We don’t have a landline, it’s mainly bliss!

Just block all phone calls from people not in your addressbook. Simple.

I feel this was written by the same people who yell at cashiers for the prices in the store. They are employees guys, they had 0 input into whatever direction or managerial decision was taken.

This should be 1st

If you think that trav agents aren't useful, you're dead wrong. Their experience is invaluable and they make vacations super easy. Whoever said this is, I bet, also used Expedia for everything; and they're missing out in better experiences.

Travel agents are a godsend to those of us who have to travel often for business. I can't spend my whole day looking at multiple airlines / aggregators to find the perfect flight(s), if there is something wrong I can't just drop everything I'm doing to fix them - Whereas travel agents are able to solve all those for me. I remember on a trip a few years back I had a bad fall during the trip and someone told our travel agent - I don't know what she did and how she managed it, she was able to find an upgrade for me at the same cost (different airline) so I would have space to put up my very sprained ankle for the flight back, at no additional cost to the company and while it was not aligned with policy, helped me in a way where the exception was approved.

I want somone else to do the planning and booking.

I was checking in at an airport an overheard 2 airline employees laughing about the person they turned away who bought their ticket to China online not realizing they needed a visa. They probably should have used a travel agent. Or the people who were pleased with their online airfare deal until they got off the plane in Sydney Nova Scotia Canada instead of Sydney Australia.

Travel agent is a rich person luxury. Also, have you ever tried booking a trip for 18 people? Probably not. That's also their job. Just because you don't understand something does not mean it's a defunct job.

I have a typewriter that is 75 years old that my father and grandfather used and it works perfectly.

My hands have always been too small for standard typewriter. There has also been a problem with my pinkie finger having enough strength during that stretch to depress the key enough. Electric ones are better, but my laptop is just right.

On a related note, we used to have someone come to our work to clean our adding machines.

Laser disc repairman lol

Banks, title companies, car dealerships still use them. Any where a title or form needs filled out it is lots cheaper to have an old typewriter than to have the software to try to print in the right areas. My boss repairs typewriters.

Where do you think the apps get the weather information? The meteorologists that are on tv. Their job won't go away, the media will just change.

Hey Florida needs our crazy weather people out in the hurricanes

They never really forecast the weather. In the USA, they got the information from the National Weather Service. All the hand-

Aren't most news weather reporters just broadcast journalists? Not actual meteorologists?

We still get the info from weather stations! Its like saying we don't need the mint anymore since we get all the coins from the supermarket cashier 😂😂😂

Why even the obsession with drive-thrus? Here in Germany, the concept practically does not exist outside the fastfood industry. Where is the actual reason for drive-thru pharmacies, ATMs or even liquor stores? Germany is said to be car centered, but in that regard, the US beat us hands down...

My husband seems to believe that all who don’t get an education to get out of those jobs are dispensable. We argue about the subject heatedly! People are stuck in such jobs out of necessity, cannot help being in poverty, high living costs, the dismal decrease of living standards, the middle class disappearing. In Canada, a universal income will likely be implemented because there won’t be jobs. Sadly, with corporate greed/automation, there won’t be a lot of customers either. It may be the demise of our civilization, or the emergence of agrarian societies.

What the hell is this???
