Originally I was under the impression we were to employ misinformation or deny the claim. I'm not as sure now. But my original idea for tactics was:
-Discredit tv, texting, social networks, posting and the internet.
-Show various statistics reflecting a decline in general literacy. (even if out of context) (try to find reliable sources though)
I think we are better off avoiding misinformation but I'm not sure. What are you guys' thoughts? Based on our learning up to now, it may be clever to use. Group C's job is to research our ideas, so using things out of context may not be a good idea, or it may work. Not really sure. - ...1 more comments...

I will be around tomorrow evening and can send it in but will need some others to help with what we are going to submit. I think you are dead on here. I believe the true answer to this conundrum is somewhere in the middle, after watching half a dozen children grow up in our house filled with technology. We restrict their use and avoid video games and television as much as possible without depriving them. The dangers are real. All of this research doesn't really persuade me to do anything different but more solidifies my beliefs in regulating their consumption. I don't think the goal here is to win, anyway. Just presenting a solid ground for our position to stand on should net us a good grade. However I think we should do something clever, as the other team will likely employ strategy as well. I can convert the document I created earlier into our file and upload it no problem. I will need to get everyone involved in next 24 hours though so I can submit it. If you guys have other plans, post here!!

"The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that kids under 2 years old not watch any TV and that those older than 2 watch no more than 1 to 2 hours a day of quality programming." This is a good quote to use... Specific Recommendation to keep children extremely limited on television use by an authority on childhood learning.
