Ten Jobs That existed in the early 1900s, but have been eliminated by new technology:
1. Street Sweeper: people with motor driven driven pickup street sweepers would clean the streets of highly urban areas. This started around 1911, and have now been transformed into street sweepers equipped with water tanks and sprayers used to loosen particles and reduce dust. The machines now resemble large truck s are much more efficient. Instead of the street sweeper walking in the street manually using a device to clean the streets, the job has changed to a person who sits in a truck and gathers trash mechanically.
2. Before 1916, when electric lights were more common, people used gas street lamps that had to be manually lit. A person’s job would be to go around and light the street lamps, however the job does not exist anymore because we have advance to an electrical lighting system.
3. Coal tender on a steam locomotive: A tender or a rail car was a steamed vehicle hauled by a steam locomotive containing wood, coal or oil. Many jobs people had to take routine jobs in maintaining the coal car. These jobs do not exist anymore, because the tender does not exist anymore.
