i had a friend who reset bowling pins in a bowling alley as a high school lob. his job is long long gone . i worked at a company in my 20's that had a organizational culture of not transitioning away from the office type writers (coronas if you were curious) but one could ask for a desktop to do their job.
i don't think that technologies get wiped out but more evolve over time. A bowling alley employee today may spend more time doing customer service stuff because the pin setter does not need to exist anymore and the typists in theory still exists but on a laptop of phone.
mail carriers while not as needed today as in decades past have morphed into software companies that manage email systems and even API"s between two piece of different software that need to communicate.
i think "wiped out" isn't the word choice but more evolved out its present state
