29．OBSOLETE JOBS In the past，there were lots of jobs that we don't have anymore.Many of these jobs have been taken over by machines，but some have just disappeared altogether.Let me tell you about some of them.
1.Telegraph OperatorsA. 
B. 
C. 
Long ago，people used telegraphs to send messages over long distances.It was like sending an old-fashioned text message，but you needed a telegraph operator to send it using a special machine.But now，we don't have telegraph operators anymore!
2.Lift Operators
These days，when we want to go up or down in elevator，we just press a jye.aiton.But a long time ago，before 1950，there were people called lift operators.They would ride in the elevator with you and operate it.Nowadays，we don't see lift operators very often，but some still work in special places like the Eiffel Tower in Pairs.
3.Lamplighters
Back at the start of the 20th century，many cities used gas street lamps，not electric ones.Lamplighters had the job of going around in the evening and lighting these lamps with a big candle on a long stick.They would light about a hundred lamps in an hour.But today，we have electric streetlights，so lamplighters are gone.
4.Typesetters
Before we had computers，people used to make books and newspapers by hand.They had to arrange metal letters in wooden frames to create the pages.It was a bit like a big puzzle!Nowadays，computers help us do this work efficiently，so typesetters are not needed anymore.
5.Switchboard Operators
Believe it or not，in the past，when you wanted to make a phone call，you had to talk to an operator.You had to tell them the number you wanted to call，and they would connect your call for you.This job was mostly done by women at the beginning of the 20th century.But now，we can make phone calls without operators.
Will more jobs disappear in the future？It's very likely.The world is changing so quickly that▲.That's just how the world works!
