Right before word processor was a program, it was a job.
We had whole categories of jobs that have been wiped out or dramatically reduced.
We don't have nearly as many travel agents as we did before the internet, before we could all go and book our flights on Orbitz or Expedia or whatever it is, right?
We had to go to the bank a lot more before we could do it on our phones.
We eliminated a lot of jobs, but we don't remember it as this mass job loss.
Why is that?
Because it happened gradually and it was diffused across the economy.
This is not a story where one day they walk in and they fire the whole typing pool.
It's not, you know, one day we stopped having travel agents.
It was that as companies figured out how to use this technology in different ways, they started to change these jobs.
People who were later in their careers had time to sort of wrap up their careers and retire.
People who were earlier in their careers had time to learn new skills or to change direction, right, to say, hey, maybe this isn't the career that I want to go into.
Maybe I should go in a different direction.
You had time to pivot.
You had time to pivot.
You had time to see the writing on the wall and to say, hey, maybe I should go to college because that's the direction that the economy is moving in.
It wasn't like every company in this town all shuts down at once and now where am I going to go?
It was spread out and gradual enough that people had an opportunity to react.
And so we don't have these mass job losses.
We have job shifts that people are able to react to over time and to pivot into new areas that have more opportunity.
