    The thing a lot of people fail to understand about many technologies is that they don’t always eliminate ALL of something.

    The internet didn’t eliminate all of almost any job, but it significantly reduced the number of people working in many jobs.

    Significant impacts reductions have been felt in:

    • Mail delivery
    • Retail workers
    • Newspapers
    • Landline Telephone Services
    • Photograph printing
    • Encyclopedias
    • Movie theaters
    • Video Game Arcades

    and more
