11 Jobs that no longer exist- Found this on Imgur.com so I didn't make this up. I'm putting it on here for educational purposes only.

1. 11 jobs that no longer exist
And Why They Disappeared

2. Bowling alley pinsetter
• Bowling alley pinsetters
were young boys employed
at bowling alleys to set up
the pins for clients.

3. Human Alarm Clocks
• Knocker-uppers were
essentially alarm clocks –
they were hired to ensure
that people would wake up
on time for their own jobs.
They would use sticks, clubs
or pebbles to knock on
clients’ windows and doors.

4. Ice Cutters
• Before modern refrigeration
techniques became
widespread, ice cutters
would saw up the ice on
frozen lakes for people to
use in their cellars and
refrigerators. It was a
dangerous job often done in
extreme conditions.

5. Pre-Radar Listening For
Enemy Aircraft
• Before radar, troops used acoustic
mirrors and listening devices like
these to focus and detect the sound
of engines from approaching
aircraft.

6. Rat Catcher
• Rat catchers were
employed in
Europe to control
rat populations.
They ran high risks
of suffering bights
and infections, but
helped prevent
these from
spreading to the
public.

7. Lamplighters
• Lamplighters used long
poles to light, extinguish
and refuel street lamps –
until electric lamps were
introduced.

8. Milkman
• Before suitable refrigeration
and preservation techniques
were available, milk had to
be delivered daily, or else it
would spoil. This was the
daily job of the milkman.

9. Log Driver
• Before the technology or infrastructure was available to
transport logs by truck, log drivers would float and guide
them down rivers from logging sites to processing areas.

10. Switchboard Operators
• Switchboard operators were
integral parts of a telephone
network’s operation before
modern technology
rendered them obsolete.
They would connect longdistance calls and do other
things that are now done
digitally.

11. Resurrectionist
• Resurrectionists, or “body
snatchers,” were hired in the
19th century to remove
corpses from graves for
universities to use as
cadavers. Cadavers from
legal means were rare and
difficult to obtain, so
universities had to resort to
other means to procure
cadavers for their students.

12. Lector Who Entertained
Factory Workers
• Broadly speaking, a lector
is simply someone who
reads. However, they were
often hired with money
pooled from workers to
read to large rooms full of
manual laborers to keep
them entertained. Some
read left-leaning or union
publications to the
workers.
