As the years go by, the phrase Technology is taking over the world has become more evident. One is bound to have a migraine thinking of an industry yet to be permeated by technology. Technology is evolving at lightning speed and with each evolution, humans stand the chance of losing Jobs that were once reserved for their expertise. I can recall watching science-fiction movies where robots battled man for territorial dominance. Well, this isn’t far from what is happening, would happen and continue to happen.
For companies looking to save money, the idea of being able to replace a human with a computer and robot that can work round the clock with little pay, no benefits, and often faster with fewer errors is enticing. Robots can also be helpful to employees as they can easily do jobs that are repetitive, monotonous, or dangerous and leave the jobs that are not completely automated, require creativity, communication, and multi-tasking to humans.
Over the last few years, robots and computers have made tremendous leaps in their performance and capabilities and have replaced more human jobs. According to a recent Oxford University study, Automation may claim as high as 47% of current jobs by 2033. So, if you're planning a career that spans beyond the next decade, you may want to strike the following off the list. Why? The reason is that most of these jobs will be automated and the need for real people to take on these roles won’t be needed as technology will catch up and take on these responsibilities.
The following are examples of jobs that would suffer this fate:
1. BANK TELLER OPERATORS:
With the advent of Automated Teller Machines that can now handle cash deposits and issue tellers for such transactions now. The spread and/or advancement of such technology is bound to make people with such role dispensable.


2. CASHIERS:
This seems like an obvious example of an occupation that can be replaced by a machine. Many grocery stores have adopted self-checkout machines as oppose to the conventional cashiers and to a large extent, the result has been positive for them. With the rise of self-checkout machines worldwide, the occupation as a cashier remains under huge threat for humans.

3. RECEPTIONIST:
Companies can now save less by not hiring someone to answer the phones thanks to software programs Virtual Receptionist. Some technologically advanced countries have taken it a step further by experimenting with actual robots to serve as receptionists. As consumers know, though, getting your call routed to a machine is off-putting, which is one reason receptionists aren't being replaced en masse — yet. However, this doesn’t rule out the fact that this is one job that is likely not going to grow or would phase out. As long as the software or robots can sufficiently carry out the company’s need, caring about how their customers feel talking to a machine would be the least of their worry especially when they can cut down on cost.

4. PACKING, STOCKROOM, AND WAREHOUSE MOVING:
Jobs that involve lifting, packaging or moving goods are now being replaced by robots controlled by computers. Top companies like Amazon, for instance, makes use of robots that move all of the goods to people who package and mail the goods to customers. These robots help Amazon and its employees get packages shipped out faster than its competition. However, at the same time, these robots have replaced the jobs of workers who would have handled this job. Other companies are also using autonomous forklift machines that can also be used to move, load, and off-load goods.

5. PILOT AND DRIVERS:
If you haven’t heard of driverless car technology or auto-pilot, you are probably a centenarian and would easily be forgiven. Autonomous drones that conduct surveillance and even attacks all without the assistance of humans are now being deployed by certain Military forces worldwide. As these drones become more advanced and capable, they are going to be adapted to other fields such as replacing the pilots of cargo planes used by companies like FedEx and UPS. There are already many companies looking into replacing their fleet of pilots with computer assisted pilots that could be remotely aided by a handful of pilots if needed. As for drivers, with the continuous improvement on tesla cars, driverless cars would likely come to a wider acceptance than it has. Granted this might take a while, as people as still skeptical with placing their life in the trust of a robot, of which many argue can be compromised by hackers. They are still occupations that cannot be ruled out of a technological take-over.

6. BARTENDER:
Some companies already have this structure in place. Robots can be soft or hard coded to serve alcohol or coffee drinks to customers. For those who are curious enough to see how this works, I have added a link for you to see how possible it is to be served a drink by a robot.

7. TRAVEL AGENTS:
Before the explosion of the Internet, there were a lot of people who worked as a travel agent to help find, arrange and book the best deal for traveling. Today, with the Internet and computers you can do all of this yourself without needing a travel agent.

There are so many others but for the time, I decided to shortlist just this seven. Why? Because seven is my lucky number. LOL !!!

Nice piece

Probably in advanced countries....

Soon factory workers

A bartender android like the one in that 2016 film Passengers

Those of us that still have jobs that technology has not taken away, should thank God.

Who told u Travel agent is affected?

You do everything at the comfort of your home while you risk those evil people take your Visa fee take repair there Country....work of a Travel agent is more than filling your forms with Computer


Check any embassy Document checklust and see how it will be summarized.

All of this automated jobs still needs input of man before they can work

Y

The end of age is here. Be ready for Rapture

Nice ☺

The office of the president of Nigeria has been taken over by technology too o.

Or how baba go dey London dey run Nigeria if not through technology?

Did bubu hand over to Osinbade this time ?

First bank already has the ATM , where you can deposit cash here in Asaba

.

a pilot will certainly engage the auto pilot mode.

Very soon sef, it will replace all the ladies.

The Lord will still make a way for His own

Smartphones have Chase my people out of Jobs across the country who were big boys in the 70s, 80s, 90s. Most of them are now Village hustlers...

In other words aspiring teenagers should avoid banking n finance shikena

Isn't it still humans who create the technology? Those are job opportunities. So the jobs aren't replaced by technology. They are simply replaced by other jobs that create tools that do the work.

If Nigeria truly embraces technology, there would in fact be more job opportunities. We need people who can make stuff that makes life easier. Either that, or we buy what other people have made and obsolete jobs would still be replaced anyway.

Interesting piece. Much like what I am sharing in my upcoming book Business Quadrant Wealthflow Theory

they did not move with the times that's why. There are still photographers making it. Go digital and be a pro at photo editing, and you are good to go.

One day,Doctors and Lawyers will be added to this list.

New Digital Banking. Wema ALAT. By the time all banks and businesses begin to implement that, there will be massive job loss.

Technology only took over Manual job, may take over mental works like Law, Accounting, Doctors, etc.

Please, do NOT be deceived by the word "Autopilot!"

The autopilot has been there for ages to relieve pilots from a no-eye-blink situation in the cockpit but has never and will never take over flying of an airplane. Although efforts have been made to develop the autopilot for takeoff and landing, there is, to a whole reasonable extent, manual interference in take-off and landing of the aircraft. What happens to correspondence between the cockpit and the ATC (Air Traffic Control)? Do you really understand this process? Surely, you don't!

ok

Vibrator's have taken over some men's Job..

You are truly an EDUCATED person.. Nice Thinking..
