What ever happened to the Encyclopedia salesman?

If there is one career choice that has drastically changed in the face of technology, it is the encyclopedia salesman. I suppose they have filtered into society as other careers have done every time there is an 'age' changing event. I wonder, with all that knowledge at their fingertips, did they even see their demise coming?



OK... what about one of the least changing careers?

That has to be the people/companies who make calculators. They have done a great job of finding their niche market and holding onto it through this device creation era. Even though phones, wrist watches, PDA's, and laptops all have calculators, it seems most of us still like our stand-alone calculator.

I'm just sayin'
