What jobs will disappear in the next 50 years?
As technology progresses, no doubt that there will be more jobs given to programs or machines because its efficient, cheaper or the job/skills is simply obsolete.
Think about the lantern lighter from Victorian times (Due to electrical lights)
Or the ice picker & ice transporter (Due to fridges)
What jobs can you think that are doom to only appear in old/period movies?
I was thinking of film photography (still in use but its declining...).

banking industry will disappear because everything will use machine in banking transaction, so no bank clerk and bank staff anymore

Newspaper press operators are on their way out now. If the self guided auto becomes a reality you can say goodbye to bus and cab drivers. And people will smarten up and stop using fissile fuels so drillers will be going next. Tool booth collectors and bank tellers will become a thing of the past as the use of cash money and checks are replaced with debt cards. Those are just the endangered jobs off the top of my head.

Jobs relating to public phones maintenance (especially those coin-operated) & home fixed line phone (now Telekom offering free nationwide calls to fixed line).

specifically those in manufacturing. This is the primary one.
Also, loss in demand for those in quarrying, mining, oil and gas extraction.
