The quotation that expresses an opposing viewpoint to the author's argument is:

"They say that people who are displaced from jobs will find new and better occupations that will be created by the economic shift." (paragraph 5)

This statement reflects a belief that economic shifts due to technology will ultimately lead to job creation, which contrasts with the author's likely concerns about job displacement and the negative impacts of technology on employment.
