Manual jobs are the ones with the greatest weight in the balance if we think about trades that may disappear in the coming years. In fact, in the last 15 years there have been radical changes from a professional point of view, which have forced companies to jump on the technology bandwagon.
What trades are at serious risk as a result of the irruption of the Internet, smartphones and other devices that make our lives easier? The training and employment portal Ccursos.com explores five of them:
Travel agent
The Internet has allowed the travel sector to reinvent itself , as well as lowering prices and reaching consumers more precisely and efficiently. But traditional agencies have been and will be closing and travel agents will be a thing of the past in 2050.
Bank cashier
Banking entities increasingly redirect their clients to carry out their procedures via the Internet. Between now and 2050, everything related to banking will be automatic in the banks or will be managed via the Internet.
Teleoperator
With the improvement of voice recognition and with advances in Artificial Intelligence, the telemarketers union is doomed to disappear between now and 2050.
Supermarket cashier
Large supermarkets are implementing automatic payment systems. Well, between now and 2050, supermarket cashiers will be nothing more than a memory.
Train driver
The trains of the not-so-distant future will be piloted automatically. Something that already happens in some subways and transshipment trains from certain airports. With the advancement of sensors in 2050 there will be no trace of train drivers.
Some of these works will survive by appealing to differential attention, but others will go down in history as in their time happened with the telegraph operator, the milkman or the night watchman.
