People often talk about buggy whip manufacturers, but we can go back to the dawn of the affordable computers, the web and the universal adoption of cell phones. Jobs were lost. The world didn’t end.

Eliminated:
Encyclopedia Salespeople
Video Store Clerks
Switchboard Operators
Payphone Technicians
Typists / Word Processors
Film Developers / Photo Lab Technicians
Yellow Pages Delivery Workers

Greatly diminished:
Travel Agents
Bank Tellers
Music Store Employees
Traditional News Reporters
Book Publishers
Door-to-Door Salespeople (except solar panel salemen in the southwest)
