Whats the big deal? Soon they will all be replaced with software.

Jobs become obsolete all the time, they have forever. I haven't seen too many chimney sweeps, milkmen, ice wagon drivers, elevator operators, or projectionists around lately.

So your saying that you don't have a chimney, don't live in the inner city, never have been to a 5 star luxury highrise hotel or up to the suites in the AA Center in Dallas or have ventured upstairs to a Rave motion picture theater lately?

Ha! What I am saying is that technology has always pushed people out of jobs. When we as a society don't need that many wooden barrels anymore then coopers go out of work.

I wouldn't worry about your job, people have been afraid of fire pretty much since inception and I don't that changing.
