The economy regularly goes through massive changes. When the country was using horses to move people and goods around, wheelwrights, barn builders, saddle makers, buggy whips and manure shovels were all booming. Then the car came along and destroyed that industry. in 2025 there were mores horses in the USA than in 1925. Most all used for purely pleasurable purposes.
When telephones were adopted, the telegraph essentially died.
Newspapers are going away rapidly, and the survivors are all brought under one ownership company. Digital papers are pitiful in size compared to the "good ol days" when I was a newspaper photographer.
Robots and CNC totally changed machining.
Entire industries are turned on their heads regularly. I worked at a professional photo lab with 5,000 square feet of floor space in a custom built building with 2 color film processors, and three paper processors, 12 - 4x5 enlargers and two 8x10 enlargers, with a dozen employees. It all just went away due to digital photography. Now in my office I can produce a better tougher, longer lasting final product from my little office, and a short trip to the place that makes my inkjet prints, and just me, not a dozen employees.
AI will change things, but smart humans will figure out legal way to make money in an changing world.
