1. Travel Agents

There was once a time when booking a flight ticket would require you go through a few brochures and having a travel sales rep put the whole thing together through a travel agency.

Now, with the abundance of easy-to-use comparison websites, anybody can book their own flight. All you need is your bank card and a few spare hours to research your destination, with the likes of SkyScanner, Trivago and jovago tailoring flight and hotel searches to your exact price and date range. Many travel operators have realised this, and are closing down branches to focus on their online offers.

There are still plenty of other opportunities in the wider travel industry though.

2. Cashiers

There has been increased talk in the last few years about the reality of a cashless society, with advances in contactless payments, Apple Pay and even cryptocurrencies such as BitCoin becoming prominent within mainstream society. While not everyone is on board, with some preferring to still use cash to better track their spending, one thing is for sure: the requirement for people to handle the payments is no more. With self-service tills and stations already a common site in supermarket chains and popular restaurants such as McDonald’s, the demise of the cashier seems inevitable.

3. Librarians

Although there will always be books in the world – regardless of the success of e-readers such as Amazon’s Kindle – it doesn’t look good for the librarians that catalogue them.

Many public libraries are struggling to stay open due to funding cuts, with most relying on volunteers to even stay open, while academic institutions have long since started uploading their texts to a digital format for convenience (and preservation) reasons. While this increased access to literature is a good thing, it is still a shame to see libraries and their helpful and knowledgeable custodians becoming obsolete.

4. Postal Couriers

While there will still be the need for couriers to deliver parcels, things don’t look good for the traditional postman or woman delivering letters each morning. This is mainly because the things that they deliver won’t exist in the next 20 years, with bills and statements viewed and paid online, junk mail moving to your email inbox rather than your letterbox, and the writing of letters long since a dying art. Despite this, companies still frustratingly ask you for a utility bill as proof of address, even though the likes of Sky and British Gas abandoned paper statements long ago.

5. Bank Tellers

While banks won’t disappear altogether; many local branches will and already have closed. This is due to the convenience and user-friendly nature of online and telephone banking, where you can make transactions and manage your account with ease – and all from the comfort of your own home, bus or anywhere.

People will still need to consult with financial advisors and experts, so banks will still remain open; there will just be a lot less of them.

6. Textile Workers

The dwindling number of employees in the textiles industry isn’t due to the lack of demand for products, but rather how they are made. With machines now able to perform a lot of the manufacturing and production work, there are less and less opportunities for unskilled workers.

On the upside, the move towards semi-automation means that highly-skilled specialist operators will be required, albeit in smaller numbers.

7. The Print Industry

This covers a range of jobs, from newspaper and magazine publishers to the factory workers that produce and distribute them. There has been speculation about the future of the print media industry for some time now, with various publications investing more time and content into their online versions; additionally, millennials are preferring to get their news from less biased, less mainstream sources, meaning that the industry as a whole needs to adapt and evolve or become extinct.

offer still stands � I enjoy connecting with good people

With over a billion WhatsApp users worldwide. the instant messaging service has many secret tips you probably don’t know about.

From disabling its ‘last seen’ feature to bookmarking messages you don’t want to forget about, there are loads of tricks to make your favourite messenger app more useful than ever. You just have to be in the know.

Fortunately for you� we’ve researched every inch of WhatsApp to gather up its most useful features. Read these top tips and you’ll be a whatsapp pro in no time at all.

1. Keep your messages marked as unread()

We know how it is. You're busy, your phone buzzes, and you glance through the message briefly.

Clearly, you've not got time to respond immediately. But at the same time, you don't want the sender to realise that you've already looked at the message, lest they think you're ignoring them when you fail to reply for two more hours. That's the privilege the blue ticks take away.

Recently though, the chat app has realised the error of its ways and silently come up with a workaround. The liberty of message-mulling is ours again.

How: In the Settings menu, go to Account, then Privacy and turn off Read Receipts. The only snag is you’ll no longer get them for other people either.


2. The typewriter font:

Most of you already know about the bold, italics and strike-through fonts that are easily accessible with a couple of commands on your chats but the typewriter font is one hard to find feature. It needs a little more effort but it is worth it if you like the font and get everyone on your chat list curious about your new find.



To change the font of your WhatsApp messages, use the ` symbol three times either side of the word. For example, ```Hello```. The symbol should not be mistaken with ' and it is available on both Android and iOS keyboards.

30 Celebrities Who Voiced Beloved Animated Characters

How many of these did you know?

Marie Rossiter MARIE ROSSITER ·APRIL 19, 2018



Actors are usually on the lookout for roles that will get them as much screen time and visibility as possible. However, sometimes celebrities decide to simply step behind a microphone and let their characters be drawn to life instead.



Many A-list Hollywood stars have lent their voices to popular animated movies over the years. The 30 stars below let their voices do the talking (or singing) and let the animators do their work to create the final product.



1. Will Smith: Oscar, “Shark Tale”



Actor and musician Will Smith is known for his starring roles in “Independence Day,” “Men in Black” and “The Pursuit of Happyness.” But, did you know he also shared his vocal talents to star in the animated feature “Shark Tale” in 2004. He played the main character, Oscar.











2. Justin Timberlake: Branch, “Trolls”

Singer and Super Bowl halftime star Justin Timberlake not only had a hit song in 2016 with “Can’t Stop The Feeling,” from the animated movie, “Trolls.” He also starred in it as Branch, a not-so-sweet troll out to save the day.





Check out some behind-the-scenes footage of Timberlake and co-star Anna Kendrick performing some of the voice work for “Trolls” in the video below. Looks like a pretty fun job!







3. Mila Kunis: Meg Griffin, “Family Guy”

“Bad Moms” star Mila Kunis has provided the voice for long-suffering teen Griffin daughter Meg in Fox’s “Family Guy” since 1999. That’s almost 20 years of playing the same character! Not a bad gig, right?





4. Mel Gibson: Capt. John Smith, “Pocahontas”

Who better to play the strong, dashing leading man in a ’90s movie than Mel Gibson? Disney found its John Smith in the actor when it was casting its historical animated feature, “Pocahontas,” in 1995.







5. Robin Williams: Genie, “Aladdin”

Many people feel Robin Williams’ Genie in the 1992 Disney classic “Aladdin” is among the studio’s best characters of all time. His character seems to jump off the screen and the excitement and joy Williams brought to the role make Genie one of the most memorable figures in all of animation.

In the behind-the-scenes look at the voices of “Aladdin” below, you can see the both the craft and fun behind Williams’s work to create the Genie.





6. Angelina Jolie: Tigress, “Ku Fu Panda”

As Tigress in the “Kung Fu Panda” animated film series, Angelina Jolie continued her streak of playing strong, fiercely independent characters — even in the form of a cartoon cat!





7. Matthew Broderick: Simba, “The Lion King”

He may be best known as Ferris Bueller, but Matthew Broderick was the leading voice in one of Disney’s most popular features of all time, “The Lion King.” As the grown-up version of Simba the lion, Broderick memorably sang “Hakuna Matata” and took his rightful place on the throne.





8. & 9. Tom Hanks And Tim Allen: Woody And Buzz, “Toy Story”



Disney brought together major stars Tom Hanks and Tim Allen as an unlikely duo who started out as enemies, but became best friends in 1995’s “Toy Story.” Hanks as Woody, an old-time cowboy toy, and Allen as Buzz Lightyear, a cutting-edge space ranger toy, went on to make three blockbuster hits, with a fourth on the way!





10. Mark Hamill: The Joker, “Batman: The Animated Series”

Talk about switching sides! Mark Hamill, best known as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise, voiced the evil Joker in “Batman: The Animated Series,” as well as in many video games and related series that have followed. Darth Vader would be proud!







11. Fergie: Sally Brown, “Peanuts”

Before she became famous as a member of the Black Eyed Peas, Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson voiced the character of Charlie Brown’s little sister, Sally, in a number of “Peanuts” TV specials and series in the 1980s, including “It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown,” “Snoopy’s Getting Married, Charlie Brown,” and “The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show.” Oh, Good Grief!







12. Oprah Winfrey: Eudora, “The Princess and the Frog”

The queen of talk shows did her own Disney turn in 2009’s “The Princess and the Frog.” Oprah Winfrey voiced Eudora, the mother of the lead character, Tiana.

14. Samuel L. Jackson: Frozone, “The Incredibles”

Jackson’s superhero character, Frozone, in Disney-Pixar’s “The Incredibles” practically steals the entire film in one hilarious scene where his wife tries to keep him from from saving the day in order to keep a dinner date.
