The following statement is an example of what type of fallacy?
If we encourage elementary school students to use computers in the classroom, they will spend less time reading books. As a result, they will fall way behind in developing reading, writing, and thinking skills. Pretty soon we will have a generation of illiterates on our hands.

a) invalid analogy
b) bandwagon
c) slippery slope
d) red herring
e) either-or

A person who has never learned to read is referred to as illiterate. A person who does not bother to read is an illustration of illiterate.

Having a lower than anticipated level of knowledge with language and literature, or having little formal education.

The correct answer is c. slippery slope

A fallacious argument is a logical fallacy in which a person asserts that a relatively small step (in this case, employing technology in classrooms) will lead to a sequence of related events (students will spend less time reading books, falling behind in reading, writing, and thinking skills), which will then have a significant, usually negative, effect (a generation of illiterates.)

slippery slope

Explanation:

A slippery slope argument is a logical fallacy in which a person asserts that a relatively small step (in this problem, using computers in the classroom) will lead to a chain of related events (spend less time reading books which leads to them being way behind in developing reading, writing, and thinking skills) which then leads to a significant, usually negative, effect (a generation of illiterates.)
