I’m a support engineer for dental software. So difficult issues won’t get immediate resolutions, and instead development will actually have to fix things because offices will be crying at them for a fix instead of at me.
But the world won’t end.
Lots of dead people. Paramedics help many.
Thank you for what you do!
You betcha.
I am in Management. Everything will carry on fine.
It absolutely would. But eventually someone will start filling your tasks.
I’m a digital marketer. The world would instantly start improving probably. you’re welcome.
Network Engineer.
The internet becomes more stable because we stop fiddling with the internet routing protocols.
I knew it! /s
I’m only joking in the kindest way. Please don’t turn off my precious Internet.
Farm worker. Food shortage, widespread food shortage. People would have to change their diets within a few weeks, and learn to hunt to avoid starvation in a few months. Unstaffed farms would be cleaned out for immediate food over time, and the price of anything edible not raised on a farm of some kind would shoot to the moon. Any automated farming that a landowner could run would be the way to go, for lack of workers.
My job title is “Team Member” my industry is “Warehousing” the world literally ends before the day is out.
Since you’re now unemployed, wanna join my gang and try to take over the local ware house district full of rice so we can try and survive until humanity has fallen and we can survive on foraging?
I’m an IT director. Things begin running more smoothly.
There would be a lot fewer old people by the end of the month… (ICU Nurse)
Thousands of deaths within seconds. Airline pilot
Would auto pilot not keep them in the air for awhile?
I’m not saying it’ll be okay, just wouldn’t it be more of a creeping dread as panicked flight staff would call air traffic control for help? Then they would be in utter disarray and overwhelmed trying to guide hundreds of planes to land without an experienced pilot? Maybe a few would have retired pilots on board that with a bit of guidance from air traffic they could land…
Yeah but as soon as they get in the flight seat they would blip out of existence. Also I’m not sure but would anyone even be able to open the doors?
En-route nothing would happen for a while correct. Plane goes on as long as it has a programmed route to follow and fuel to stay in the air. But keep in mind that, around the planet, thousands of airplanes are about to land right now. Landings are like 95% flown manually so if all those are suddenly empty in the cockpit they’ll crash pretty much immediately.
Software Engineer. Things might improve, actually.
There are applications where we actually have to adhere to standards.
Yeah, my post was mostly tongue-in-cheek. (I used to be the official-ish PCI guy where I worked, so I know about the standards to which you refer.) But at the same time, if software engineers didn’t exist, we soon wouldn’t have NFTs or DRM on cars, coffee makers, and garage doors or secret TV signals for spying on you via your smartphone etc.
You don’t know what standard I’m talking about.
You also have no idea how much of your daily life relies on software.
You’re not taking what I’ve been saying the way I meant it.
Maybe actually say what you mean.
Payroll admin so… if you hadn’t specified that’s it was just within my industry I think the whole world would come to a standstill by Friday. Lol.
Let the riots begin!!!
It wouldn’t be more than a few days. You all don’t realize what I do for you. I’m out there every night fighting the night man. Bringing in the day man. I am the fighter of the night man, ahhhhhhaaaayhaahhaaa, champion of the sun, master of karate and friendship for everyone.
You’ll all be fighting in the streets for food by the end of next week. Logistics literally moves the world. 🚚
You mean the rice I eat that is grown mostly on other side of the world didn’t appear at my door step magically???
Yup. I’m a warehouse manager. The logistics/ transportation/ warehousing industry is already stretched disturbingly thin. If we take away the people who run the places, the world will grind to a halt.
I pressed a few buttons on my computer and as a result am expecting a specific product to arrive at my door step later today.
The level organization and infrastructure required to make it so that I can have 1 of like a million products hand delivered to my door within hours of me deciding I want it is staggering to be honest.
Childcare educator, a large amount of people suddenly wouldn’t be able to work because they have no one to watch their children.
I’m an adjunct professor. If every adjunct professor disappeared today, universities would instantly be better for students and professors. Administrators would hate it, though.
