What kind of argument(s) does the author make? Is it logical or emotional? Are there any fallacies in the argument? (you need to provide examples from the text of the types of arguments made.)

The argument the author makes is that movies, video games, and the television teach more things to people than books. It is logical and no there are not fallacies in the argument  because the author did not have a faliure in reasoning the argument. For example on page 129 one of the arguments he made is he said that movies challenge the mind by creating a thick network of intersecting plotlines. Another example of the arguments he made is about the internet. His argument about the internet says on page 121 that the internet forces users to probe and master new environments.


This picture is found on page 70 from the book Everything Bad Is Good For You. The picture shows how this television show is increasing in complexity and is layered with plots, ideas, and many characters.
