1. Human-computer interaction
Prior to the invention of electrical computers, a human computer would do sophisticated mathematical computations by hand.
For each computation, pencils, multiple notebooks, and weeks of work were required. To eliminate mistakes, the computations were often completed by more than one team. As a result, although remarkable, this method of completing computations was exceedingly inefficient.
2. Pin-up lads
When you go bowling these days, you probably don't think about the machines that reset the bowling pins. This was a task formerly performed by people that has since been replaced by technology.
In short, people are no longer at danger of being struck by bowling balls.
3. Elevator operators
Lifts were not always as simple to use as they are now. You couldn't just click a button and have the elevator stop at the desired level. Instead, a lift operator would have to stop the lift manually, timing it for each level.
When technology advanced, elevators no longer required human assistance in determining where to stop each time. As a result, 'lift operator' became another another profession lost to technology.
4. Operators of switchboards
There was once a time when a real staffer would physically connect calls. They used the switchboard to connect calls by placing phone plugs into the appropriate jacks.
Switchboard systems are now mostly automated. Technology developed to spare humanity from arduous and stressful labor.
5. Cashiers
Cashiers are increasingly being replaced by automation. In particular, self-service technologies. The requirement for actual cashiers has begun to decline as a result of online buying. Customers, on the other hand, finish the procedure themselves.
Self-service devices at physical shops allow consumers to check out their own purchases. In most circumstances, a person is required to convince the machines that, indeed, the buyer has placed the item in the bagging area.
Cashier positions will continue to decline as technology advances and checkout-less establishments become more practical.
6. factory employees
Factories, regardless of how highly controlled and supervised they are, are not the safest places to be. There are several perils to avoid, as well as plenty of tedium to endure.
As a result, automated technology has taken over whether it's running machines or laborious assembly line job. While robots minimize danger and tedium, people are now in charge of maintaining and monitoring the machines.
7. Warehouse employees
Moving, loading, and unloading items, as well as packing them, need minimum human intervention. Working at a warehouse is yet another example of a job lost to technology.
Robots and automation technologies are now handling an increasing number of these occupations. As a consequence, goods and items reach customers more quickly.
8.Clerks who enter data
Meanwhile, in the workplace, automation software is taking over human data input chores. It has the ability to parse, extract, manipulate, and load data into databases.
This protects your human workforce from admin mortality and your databases from human mistake. As a result, your staff may concentrate on more engaging tasks while your database stays correct and up to date.
9. Tellers at banks
The development of the ATM (automated teller machine) in the 1960s was the first instance of certain bank teller positions being lost to technology.
Add to that the development of internet banking, robo-advisers, financial chatbots, and contactless card payments. Human tellers at banks are becoming more obsolete as technology advances. Most bank clients prefer to service themselves.
We receive greater accessibility, control, and convenience when we handle our money in exchange for the position of bank teller.
10. travel agents
Travel agencies are seeing decreased demand as a result of internet comparison services. Holidaymakers have gotten used to designing, assembling, and booking their own vacations. As this trend continues, travel agencies will become more obsolete.
