Amazon is slowly putting brick and mortar stores out of business. Netflix and Redbox already killed Blockbuster and Hollywood Video. Websites like Expedia have left countless travel agencies in the dust. Your local supermarket is hiring fewer cashiers because one person looking over a row of automated checkout lanes saves them money. And what parts of customer service phone lines that haven't been outsourced to foreign nations with cheap labor have been largely automated to cut down the labor force altogether.

The thing is though, outsourcing isn't automating. Neither is a diminished workforce. There still isn't such a thing as a fully automated job with no human oversight.
