Robots/Machines are taking jobs away from human?

People argue that machines and robots are taking away people's jobs, the more technology develops, the fewer need for work there will be. Are people eventually going to "lose" all the jobs? Is it a good thing to be liberated ourselves from work, or not?
1.Technology is improving the efficiency of production and the quality of service, yes, less people are working on the farm, less people are working in factory, but it all will form a transformation and restructure of labour, people used to work a lot, earn a few, in the future people work less, earn more, so people who works maybe just the real elite or expert or very skilled in a specific area, and they bring so much more income home that the other family members may not need to have a job.
2.Technology cannot completely replace human labour. First, humans are capable of conducting very subtle and delicate and trivial work, humans can be flexible, humans can be creative, humans can intelligently react to uncertain elements that could happen any time. Besides, the society still needs service, real service from another human, it's hard to imagine a machine to replace a sport coach, music teacher, a stunt actor... if people use machine to replace stunt actor or artists, what's the point of watching them then? There are something just cannot be replaced, the products that consist of human emotion and human nature. You don't want to see robots to play a movie (if so, why not just watch animation).
3.The future jobs left for human will be mostly in service section, and middle to top management, creative areas, performance areas etc. Human is social animal, people need to interact with people, so there will always be "jobs" to do. But in the future, yeah, people will be further liberated from labour and enjoy more leisure and pursue more creative and intelligent goals.
