For more than 25 years, James Wodke has been an elevator driver in the 1925 Century Building in downtown Milwaukee. Soon technology will replace him.

It is sad. This elevator and its operator are both gems.

These vintage elevators are real gems. Many cities sometimes enjoy turning to sometimes what we call rubbish rather than keeping guys like him and these vintage elevators running!

I'd say leave the elevator operator alone and let him keep his job

@@missourielevators9252 hahaha. so you want this guy, whose job is now obsolete and useless (something nobody is willing to pay for, clearly) to be fulfilled but not by you? by who then? lol

@@malikjones2193 you clearly don't understand that there are people like me who like elevators especially old manually controlled ones like this one. In my opinion it wouldn't be too bad to operate one of these which I have before at an old building near where I live while being escorted. Also I have high functioning autism and elevators happen to be a hobby that I enjoy. That's why I said the comment of them letting the operator keep his job

That person is a idiot. They wanna make humans obsolete. I’m not anti technology. But it seems that they wanna make humans just go away.
