5）金融中介：別再詬?忍乇伊?比特幣背后的技術或許就會成為導致你失業的罪魁禍首.
Blockchain, Bitcoin's computer program, is able to automatically process transactions and create a perfect, reliable digital record.
比特幣的計算機程序"區塊鏈"（blockchain）能自動處理交易,并創建出一份完美可靠的數字記錄.
Webb believes blockchain will disrupt the middle men in the banking, escrow, insurance and mortgage sectors.
韋伯認為"區塊鏈"技術可以取代銀行業,委托付款,保險和抵押領域的中介.
"Whether or not Bitcoin ever takes off is beside the point. It's the underlying infrastructure that will dramatically change the work that's being done," Webb said.
韋伯說："比特幣今后是否有著光明的前景,這并不是我們討論的重點.其背后的技術足以使我們現在的工作發生天翻地覆的變化."
We may have received a sneak preview of that this week when Nasdaq said it will use blockchain to keep transaction records in its pre-IPO market.
當納斯達克表示將要將"區塊鏈"技術應用于其首次公開籌股前市場交易記錄時,我們就可見一斑了.
6) Journalists: The Internet wiped out countless newspapers, and new technology could kill even more journalism positions.
6）記者：網絡的出現已經使不少紙媒受到沖擊,而新技術將可能使更多記者失業.
Webb, a former journalist at Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal, said the next culprit will be algorithms that allow news outlets to automatically create stories and place them on websites without human interaction. Robot journalists (fedora optional) are already writing thousands of articles a quarter at The Associated Press.
韋伯過去也是名記者,她曾供職于美國《新聞周刊》和《華爾街日報》.她說,未來新聞媒體可利用算法自動撰寫新聞,并可在無人工干預的情況下發布到網絡上.美聯社的機器人記者已經在一個季度內撰寫了數千篇稿件了.
7) Lawyers: If you're going into the legal world, veer toward litigation.
7）律師：如果你還有志從事法律工作,那就去做訴訟吧.
Webb believes non-litigation lawyers could soon be replaced by online form-based services like LegalZoom that can carry out simple tasks like trademark applications, wills and even divorce.
韋伯相信,LegalZoom等基于表單的服務將會替代非訴訟律師完成簡單的任務,諸如商標申請,遺囑,甚至離婚.
It's all been made easier by the trend to make records more open and easily accessible, lessening the need for high-priced lawyers.
