What do you do when you’re looking
for a date, a new pair of shoes, plane tickets, or nearly anything else? You
probably search online or have a convenient App for it. But, before E-commerce
became apart of everyday life in the world, many more jobs existed in industries
such as banking, libraries, traveling agencies, matchmaking, etc. Since the
Internet offers a large variety of products and services, it made finding jobs
in many industries more difficult or obsolete.
So– where did all of those people go?
Essentially, I believe that either
they stayed in their industry but adjusted to a new position of being a
customer support employee for the website. Another possible case could be that
they switched industries completely; perhaps moving to an industry that is currently
in need such as something in technology like advertising, internet technician,
computer engineering, etc. And retail and restaurant always are in demand as
well. Getting a job at a place where many people physically visit is a good
idea if you’d rather not be sitting at a computer all day. And I have not had a
robot serve me at a restaurant yet,
so snagging jobs like that is still an option. Also, many people prefer trying
clothes on to see if it flatters them or if the quality is nice before purchasing
it, that’s why I think retail will always be a physical industry in addition to
the e-tail industry.
Despite the fact that E-commerce
may be the cause of extinct jobs in several industries, I think that its vastness
of options benefit the world economy overall.
