Answer:

Travel websites such as Expedia (EXPE), Kayak, and Travelocity have eliminated the need for human travel agents.

Tax software such as TurboTax has eliminated tens of thousands of jobs for tax accountants.

Newspapers have seen their circulation numbers decline steadily, replaced by online media and blogs. Increasingly, computer software is actually writing news stories, especially local news and sporting event results.

Language translation is becoming more and more accurate, reducing the need for human translators. The same goes for dictation and proof-reading.

Secretaries, phone operators, and executive assistants are being replaced by enterprise software, automated telephone systems, and mobile apps.
