How do new jobs appear when old ones fade?
A hundred years ago, someone had a job lighting street lamps every evening with a long pole. Another person delivered ice blocks to homes so food wouldn't spoil. And someone else operated an elevator by hand, pulling ropes to move it up and down. Where did those jobs go? And what came instead?
Jobs fade when someone invents a better way to do the same thing. Electric lights turned on by themselves — no pole needed. Refrigerators kept food cold without ice deliveries. Elevator buttons let anyone press their floor. The NEED stayed (light, cold food, going up), but the WAY changed.
