Description
The elevator operator ranks first. In modern office high-rises equipped with automated systems, this profession became obsolete by the end of the 20th century. For example, the last manual elevator in the Empire State Building in New York City was replaced in 2011. In second place is the fax technician. This position, popular in the 1980s, has become virtually obsolete. Email and digital document transfer displaced faxes from most offices by the mid-2000s. Third place goes to the intra-office courier. With the advent of email, instant messaging, and cloud storage like Google Drive, the transfer of papers between departments has disappeared. Digital documents have been moving instantly since the 1990s. Fourth place goes to proofreading paper documents. Modern spelling and grammar checkers, like Grammarly, launched in 2009, and built-in Microsoft Word features make this manual work redundant. Digital editing is much more efficient. The paper archive clerk rounds out our list. Electronic document management systems, used since the 2000s, allow for the storage of millions of documents in digital format, reducing the need for physical folders. What other positions do you think will soon disappear?
