Jobs and Times Text A.
Times change. Jobs as well. Some jobs that still exist today may no longer exist tomorrow. The postman, for example, was once someone you could see every day in any street anywhere around the world. Today because of email and the internet the postman is less important than before. The daily visit to the supermarket may change too. A number of supermarkets already have self-service tills. The cashier who helps you pay for your groceries may soon be a thing of the past. Advances in technology are the main reason. The travel experience has also changed a lot because of this. Booking tickets and hotels online is a lot easier than going to a travel agent. In some modern airports you check in your own luggage without anyone helping you.
Most people know that airplanes have computer systems. However, I guess that a lot of people don’t like flying on a plane with an empty cockpit.
