If printing technology took centuries to eliminate the trade of printers, by the same logic computers took about 80 years to eliminate a large chunk of knowledge workers (and that's just counting until today, we might still be a couple years off)

It took only about a decade. Printing was a good trade in 1975. The International Typographical Union folded in 1986, with the remaining employees (mostly mailers, not printers) moving to the Teamsters.
