Gotta question that. Just with phones. Computers and computer switching has cut how many jobs for operators? Automation has cost even more with robotic manufacturing and packaging.
While I look at many things as blessings that are in the nice, as opposed to have to have area of life many of these things have cost a lot of jobs just through the last 50 years.

Just how many workers and welders lost jobs over that? May not have been all that many total but automotive manufacturing was going over to some robotics at that time too. So add in JD, IH, Ford/NH, AC, White, Ford auto, GMC and Chrysler and how many thousands of jobs went away. Now these companies didn't go to the expense of changing over for the betterment of man kind but to reduce cost. And even more is going on today and has nothing to do with outsourcing. Everything has a cause and effect.
