Every epoch brings new
professions. However, due to the technological advancement of human
civilisation we also observe the extinction of a number of professions. The
pictures below show professions which have been lost for more than a century.
They might seem funny now, but then they were part of daily life. The
professions depicted below are:
a.
Pinsetter. Young children used to place the pins
back in their place after each game.
b.
The human alarm clock. A man used a wooden stick
or small stones and tapped the bedroom window or their doors in order to wake
them up.
c.
Ice cutters. Before our modern cooling systems
there were people who cut ice and place them in the house.
d.
The radar-man. The military used acoustic
systems in order to determine, through sound, what aircrafts approached the
area.
e.
Rat-hunter. This was a profession which was
widely spread in many European metropolises, due to the great dangers of
spreading infections to the human population.
f.
The person who lit the streetlights. This was a
profession for the cities, before we all started using electricity.
