as i see many people do not use a land phone, it is all mobile. many items are disappearing from the market. same is the case with jobs, what jobs will become less important in the future. do you think a translator job or some jobs will disappear soon and some others will become demanding. in short what jobs will disappear and what will become demanding in the coming years
Thanks for the question!
Technology is developing drastically. Though, the technological development is not same throughout the world. Developing countries still adapting changes from developed countries. So, it is very had to say which job will disappear. But, In general technology will took over several job fields. There are already warning signs. A recent study by the Foundation for Young Australians (FYA) found that nearly 60 per cent of young people in the country are currently training for careers that will be two-thirds automated in the next 10 to 15 years. That is a huge waste of skills.
For instance,
1. Telemarketers
Most people (apart from telemarketers of course) will actually be pleased about this one, or at least they would be if the annoying unwanted sales calls weren’t being replaced with even more annoying automated sales calls. Many telemarketing companies (especially small ones, that don’t always play so closely to the rules) have adopted this new approach that negates hiring costs and can engage potential customers at any time of the day or night.
2. Textile Workers
The dwindling number of employees in the textiles industry isn’t due to the lack of demand for products, but rather how they are made. With machines now able to perform a lot of the manufacturing and production work, there are less and less opportunities for unskilled workers.On the upside, the move towards semi-automation means that highly-skilled specialist operators will be required, albeit in smaller numbers.
3. Bank Tellers
While banks won’t disappear altogether; many local branches will and already have closed. This is due to the convenience and user-friendly nature of online and telephone banking, where you can make transactions and manage your account with ease – and all from the comfort of your own home, bus or anywhere.People will still need to consult with financial advisors and experts, so banks will still remain open; there will just be a lot less of them.
4. Postal Couriers
While there will still be the need for couriers to deliver parcels, things don’t look good for the traditional postman or woman delivering letters each morning. This is mainly because the things that they deliver won’t exist in the next 20 years, with bills and statements viewed and paid online, junk mail moving to your email inbox rather than your letterbox, and the writing of letters long since a dying art. Despite this, companies still frustratingly ask you for a utility bill as proof of address, even though the likes of Sky and British Gas abandoned paper statements long ago.
5. Cashiers
There has been increased talk in the last few years about the reality of a cashless society, with advances in contactless payments, Apple Pay and even cryptocurrencies such as BitCoin becoming prominent within mainstream society. While not everyone is on board, with some preferring to still use cash to better track their spending, one thing is for sure: the requirement for people to handle the payments is no more. With self-service tills and stations already a common site in supermarket chains and popular restaurants such as McDonald’s, the demise of the cashier seems inevitable.
There are many fields as well where technology will made huge impact like , in medicine sector as well as in livestock sector.
