Now, technology is developing at an even faster speed. Some traditional jobs are disappearing. However, new ones are springing up to meet new needs.

Cashier
Cashiers in shops and supermarkets may not be necessary in the near future. They may soon be replaced by machines. People can pay on their own in these places.
Pilot
Autopilots were first used in planes over a century ago. With the development of new technology, perhaps there will be no human pilots in the future!
Jobs of the future
Space tour guide
Space tourism started over 20 years ago. In the future, travelling to space will surely be provided at a lower cost. Space tour guides will be needed to lead people to the moon and beyond!
Virtual reality fashion designer
In the future, more people will work and play in virtual reality. People will need cool and fashionable clothes. So VR fashion designers will be greatly needed!

P15
Drives taxis to take passengers to their destinations.
Self-driving cars may replace human taxi drivers.
Teaches AI systems new skills (e.g., recognize voices, make decisions).
AI is used more widely; it needs trained people to improve its abilities.
Think about an old job soon to be history, and a new job of the future. Use the following chart for help.
Write the job descriptions with the help of the chart.
A taxi driver’s job is to drive a taxi and take passengers to their destinations. But this job is soon to be history. As technology is developing at an even faster speed, self-driving cars are becoming more advanced—they can carry passengers without human drivers, so taxi drivers will be replaced, and this traditional job will disappear.
AI trainer is a new job that is springing up to meet new needs in society. What an AI trainer does is teach AI systems new skills (like recognizing voices or making decisions). This job will become common because AI is used more widely now, and it needs trained people to improve its abilities.
Exchange your job descriptions with another student. Write short comments on his / her job descriptions.
Check.
