Regular taxi drivers are going extinct truly. Only a few old school people are still using them now. Bolt and Uber has taken over

how old is the OP ?

Here are nine jobs that will be obsolete in few years:

1. Taxi Drivers:
With the increasing popularity of rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft, the traditional taxi driver who works for a taxi Company faces extinction. Running a taxi company is much more expensive than ridesharing, but regular taxi services can not compete with the pricing models of the new transportation model.

2. Bank Tellers:
When was the last time you walked into a physical bank and conducted a financial
service with a bank teller? Automation
and artificial intelligence is quickly replacing this long-standing job. Most loans can be completed and through an app, and checks can be deposited directly Over your mobile phone. For cash transactions, automatic teller machines can increasingly perform more complicated tasks previously completed by a human being.

3. Cashiers:
There may always be a need for one or two cashiers in a store for price check issues and other common purchasingg problems, but the standard cashier jobis in danger. Self-checkout machines and the move towards digital currency are quickly automating the jobs of cashiers.

4. Telemarketer:
While most of us cheer the idea of
telemarketers going away, this doesnt mean we will no longer receive unsolicited phone calls. Currently, most of the telemarketing calls are conducted by automation and Switched over to a person when specific criteria are met. Howeve, those in the telemarketing industry actively look for ways to automate even the current human process.

5. Dispatchers: (except emergency services) Dispatchers for typical service industry jobs such as plumbers, taxi drivers, and other services are quickly being replaced by automation. Over the next five years, most of these jobs will likely be replaced by computers. While we believe machines may eventually replace emergency service dispatchers, this will take longer than five years.

6. Watch repairers: there are two significant concerns with the watch repair jobs that are still in existence. First, many people are switching over to smartwatches that integrate with their phones. Any issues with smartwatches are usually too complex for a traditional watch repairer, so these watches must go back to the manufacture. Second, as automation replaces many in the manufacturing industry, traditional watches tend to get cheaper while watch repair costs are increasing

7. Printing press operators:
Printed media is a quickly dying medium.
While magazines and newspapers are still printed in small quantities, the next five years will show a massive push to strictly digital content. The printing press operators will still be needed for some required publications, but their overall numbers will be all but obsolete.

8. Bus Drivers: Driverless vehicles are becoming much more common, and we are sure public transportation is soon to follow Traditional bus drivers will soon be replaced by driverless transportation to increase efficiency and lower government Costs.

9. Librarians: With the move towards digital media and libraries turning to self serve kiosks, the traditional librarian role is quickly disappearing. With the move towards digital media and libraries turning to self serve kiosks, the traditional librarian role is quickly disappearing

Key Take-Aways
Finding a recession-proof job is essential to preparing for future uncertainty.
By focusing on industry trends and the future of automation, we can better for
careers that can pass the test of time.

Completely disagree

Hahahaha!

And you forgot to add the replacement. What is replacing these lost jobs soonest?

It is called Artificial Intelligence

Guys, follow me as we create future for the generations after us. This is my focus.

Driverless vehicles can't work in Lagos...if you doubt me bring it to OSHODI...LOLZ









You can't be fueling your generator and paying for servicing every week in this hard economy. It's not wisdom sir.

Get a solar power system that supply's uninterrupted power. No noise, no maintenance, no monthly subscription, automatic switch over from NEPA to solar and vice versa.
Make that decision today.

The only job that refuse to go is prostitution.

Connected1:
Embracing driverless cars would be very difficult in this part of the world.

For the others, a rough estimate of 2 decades is being considered.

Shared ownership cars or Airbnb of cars. You book ownership an electric vehicle for a few hours or a few days.

No

Nigeria is 1000 years backward,so these jobs would still be in existence.

are u a Nigerian? If u knw, u knw.

As long as we don't utilise the manpower of our engineers, a country where her engineers are teaching in schools and working in the farms, a sharp contrast of what they studied portends backwardness for Nigeria. No Nigerian university runs robotic engineering, aeronautics engineering is a smacking joke in Nigeria. We are jokers. We are not ready to leave our present stage. As common as good roads and electricity we still battle with it. These jobs are going no where.

FreeIgboho:
U sure?
A totally driverless vehicle is decades if not centuries away, if ever

FTC!!!

* Those quoting me, will you dare take a driverless taxi from SW to SE with all the UGM and Kidnappers??

People like you said this same for for a handset when table phones were very much alive.

At least machine wouldn't write a play ot create a story, machine would never act a movie.. thank God I'm a screenwriter, actor

Great article!

But bro, you're wrong about the printing press. The printing press can never go into extinction. The sector is too heterogeneous and solves man's physically/non verbal communication need that digitalization cannot override.

The paper has survived centuries from other competiting innovations and technological advancement and it is today, still an important need of man.

Same story was told about radio and TV when the internet was gaining mass adoption. Today, these medium of communication are heavily grounded because they solve man's most pertinent communication needs.

If you see printing press as only the newspaper and magazine; I am sorry for you. There's more for you to learn.

xpressionx:
These jobs will still be available in analogue Nigeria for the next 70years

Next 170 sire

Take librarian out of this coz the profession has died a natural dead.... studying online is far better than taking a book from the library shelves

I'm afraid of Africa..how do we think?
Have spent an hour just to see the bank teller he is castigating in alaba UBA but e never work o. No bus driver in Lagos state go home with less than 5k daily.
Op u dey live ur life on paper shaa.
Na for secondary school one corper told me that soon if I walk into banks I would see only but robots doing human works. I don graduate since o, my mama self still dey bank. People can use anything to deceive people into doing what they want shaa

chariisGRACE:
Painting: With the introduction of wallpapers and wall tiles, the painting profession has been wearing a sad face. (minimally tho)

Automobile mechanic: It nay take time in this part of the world, but in years to come, it will fade. (Electric cars)

No car holds without mechanical components. Shey tire no go dey? Shey propeller no go come. The only difference is replacing the combustion engine with a rugged electric motor and fuel tank with batteries. But at least 65% of the mechanical components we have today in vehicles would still be there.

Hmmm

I dey enter everybody bc this topic dey vesi
U self where u dey stay? U dey judge whole Nigeria by lekki, vgc, island ni? Oya come down to from Benin dey go reach warri.
How taxi driver go dey go extinct country dey better abi e dey worst

I'm very sure Op wasn't making reference to Nigeria in those his write ups ...a country where cows are still being grazed in the open and a City like Lagos where 25- 33% of its inhabitants earn their keeps through commercial transportation and its value chain of touting, agberoism, extortion and thuggery ain't ready for those strange concepts.

Even doctors as well. I'm aware IBM Watson initiative has reached an advanced stage of perfection. It is a medical robot that would be powered by AI.

You guys will just get articles from anywhere in the web and come post it on nairaland. Hardly is there any original stories or articles here. The jobs sited there that may soon be out of the market definitely doesn't apply to a third world country like Nigeria. Imagine what is said about Taxis! Quite ridiculous to expect such in a country such as ours.

You are rather out of realities here. Shey dem go bring driverless cars and buses come Lagos and Aba abi, to drive for which roads. Despite advanced methods of doing things in developed countries third world countries are still struggling to attempt to meet up.

Maybe in developed countries but in this naija, it will take more than 100 years before they will go away.

Gbam

All these will further increase the unemployment rate and crime.

Although, number 8 is still a few more decades away even for developed countries.

You are not in Nigeria.

I go to the bank everyday. Hope you know their are millions of Nigerians that can't write their name so how would they do digital transaction?


Go to bank bunk room and see millions deposited daily.


As for Taxi, who can afford Ubar? That is still here.

You probably copied the post from a 1st World Country website.
