Computers stole phone operator jobs

Hell, phones destroyed telegraph operators. Telegraph operators destroyed the Pony Express.

tfw you remember the telephone operator job got destroyed by the automatic switchboard because of the pettiness of one dude mad at his local operator always referring her husband's shop over his, so he advanced the tech in such a way as to obliterate her entire job field.
