I can maybe see "The Check" totally disappearing, but not so sure on all the rest. Just like back in the early and mid 1900's, I'm sure there were lists of things/jobs that many were concerned about that would be disappearing with progress, like the Blacksmith/horseshoe trade after the automobile industry took off, and the "passenger" railroad workers losing jobs as the airline industry grew, just to name only two. However, we still have a much, much smaller contingent of these things still with us today. We just adapt and flow with the time periods we live through.... Can any one of us imagined back when we were kids how we communicate today with computers, smart phones, etc?? Not me!!!
