1. Milk Man: Milk used to be delivered to people everyday, or every week. Now people can just go buy it in a grocery store, so there is no longer the need for the Milk Man.
2. Ice Man: Ice used to be delivered as well, and now, people can make their own, or buy it at grocery stores or gas stations, so there is no longer the need for the Ice Man either.
3.Telephone Switchboard Operat0rs: Used to be in charge of transferring calls and information. Now we have an automatic electronic switchboard, so no more operators needed.
4. Town Criers: Used to call out the time, or any messages that was important to the town.
5. Telegraph Technician: used to write down the messages sent by telegraph and monitor the telegraph machines. Now we have telephones, and email, and no longer use telegraphs, so these people are no longer needed.
6. Coal Deliverers: Coal also used to be delivered, to warm the house, but now with air conditioners in most houses, there is no need for coal, and thus no need for deliverers.
7. Map Makers: a long time ago people used to travel and write maps as they went. This job no longer exists.
8. Lamp Lighters: People who used to go around towns with lantern and light all the street lamps. With the introduction of the light bulb, this job no longer exists.
9. Stenographer: used to be prized for the ability to write in “shorthand,” a special abbreviated kind of note-taking useful for business transactions, court, and other things. When recording equipment became popular, this job was no longer needed.
10. Porter- there is no more gate keeper because there is less homes with gate and the house that has gates are now automatic.
