Travel Agents No More
One of the victims of the growing internet are careers as a travel agents. Being able to book online and best of all do research on your destinations a long time before you even set sail has virtually eliminated them from the travel industry. Many more jobs are being phased out, deemed unnecessary due to the growth and reach of the internet through mobile devices allowing everybody to do almost anything without leaving home.
Need to do something at the bank, log on and save yourself the trouble. Need to renew your insurance policy, you can also do it online and get the hard-copy sent directly to you through the mail.
The internet has changed the way we live indeed but sadly it has also cost many jobs that used to provide for thousands if not millions of people worldwide. All victims of the technological prowess of information and the internet it travels through.
