两个世纪前，工业化的浪潮席卷英国，人们都害怕机器会抢走他们的工作。
那个时候，人们不说「工业革命」而大谈「机器问题（machinery question）」
甚至有人称其为「机械恶魔（demon of mechanism）」。

两个世纪后的今天，「机器问题」卷土重来，这次它伪装成了另外一副样子——人工智能（AI）

是的，人工智能来了，他们要来抢走我们的工作了！
The robots are coming, and they will take our jobs.

外媒预测，这5个专业会随着新技术的出现而被淘汰。
5 college degrees that will be sure to be obsolete with the advent of new technology.

01 Accounting Degree
会计学位

Basically, if Quickbooks can do it – you don’t really need your accountant.In house accounting is only truly necessary for larger companies, and tax accounting for most individuals can be done online directly. More and more companies are coming up with ways to do taxes online.
基本上，如果QuickBooks（一种小型商务财务软件，如下图）可以做账的话，你就真的不需要会计师了。只有大公司才需要公司内部核算，很多人可以直接在网上进行所得税核算。越来越多的公司都在想办法网上缴税。


02 Hospitality And Tourism Degree
酒店管理和旅游管理学位

You know those kiosks that you check in to at the airport? That is the projected future of hotels. Majoring in hospitality and tourism is a mistake, because most of that industry can easily be replaced by technology.
你见过机场供乘客自助办理登记手续的自助服务机吗（如下图）？ 酒店今后也会如此。选择酒店管理和旅游专业是一种失策，因为这个行业中的多数工作很容易被技术所取代。

03 Paralegal Degree
律师助理学位

Most of the duties of a paralegal can easily be done by a computer these days.Filing and research can easily be done online, and does not require a human touch.Law itself can be replaced by technology, so paralegal studies is the obvious first cut to the industry.
目前，律师助理的多数任务可以很容易地通过电脑来完成。文件归档以及调研也可以轻轻松松地在线完成，不需要个人处理。法律本身就可以被技术所替代，所以，律师助理研究显然会最先被这个行业所淘汰。


04 Broadcast Communications Degree
广播通信学位

The TV is no longer the main news outlet, and a degree in broadcast communications focuses on an outdated technology.Communication efforts are changing daily, from Snapchat to Facebook – we get our news in a very different way these days.
电视不再是新闻传播的主要途径，而广播通信学则是以一种过时的技术为重点的。通讯每天都在改变，从阅后即焚（一款照片分享应用）到脸书，如今我们可以通过一种非常不同的方式来获取新闻。


05 Pharmacy Degree
医药学位

Your prescription can be filled by a robot.More and more drugstores are turning to this idea of an automatic pick up or drop off, and there is no real need for a pharmacist in this world.Become a doctor instead, as this job is very replaceable.
机器人也可以开药方。而且越来越多的药房开始有自动配药的打算，这个世界并非真正需要一位药剂师。还是去当一名医生吧，因为药剂师的工作很容易被取代。
