Automation Means Evolving Workforce

Recently I had a discussion with friends and family about the place of automation in our society. Many people are claiming that robots are stealing jobs from people and that we will face a social breakdown at some point usually in the near future. My answer is always: What happened when computers where first introduce to the market? The post office didn't go away when everybody started to send emails, right? Workforces are just constantly evolving and adapting to new technologies and always will be.
