"Tasks" and "jobs" aren't quite the same, are they? There are a lot of "tasks" that I used to perform in the course of doing my job that I no longer need to perform, or that have been made orders of magnitude easier thanks to technology.
I've probably mentioned this before but back in the early years of my career in the 1870s, I would get assigned to run what-ifs on large commercial real estate transactions. What if inflation was 7% and 65% of the tenants renewed? No kidding back then it was an afternoon to run the new scenario (with the door to my office closed). Of course within a few years it was just pressing a key (and waiting for the recalc). And then the whole recalc thing went away.
