Some folks do still take dictation. Medical and legal secretaries in particular -- secretaries for classes of professional who are very busy, make a lot of money, send quite a lot of letters, and don't tend to spend a lot of their time sitting in front of a computer. Secretaries to doctors and lawyers make a lot more than minimum wage, though.
