    1. This author of this article states that she does not agree with Steven Johnson's article "Watching TV Makes you Smarter" and claims that she didn't even understand his thesis. She believes that Johnson completely dismissed the representation of Muslim terrorists and torture in the show 24. She says that the only thing the show causes you to think about is the next episode of 24. She ends her argument by saying that we should be able to just watch whatever we want, not because it will somehow make us smarter.

      This article could be useful in writing the paper by showing a different opinion other than the opinions of the authors like Steven Johnson who think that TV isn't all bad and can make us smarter in ways.
