Answer:
Bandwagon fallacy
Explanation:
Bill: Today, the reading culture that makes people smart is being eroded and I believe that this is caused by so many distractions in the world today.
John: I do not totally agree with you, Bill. The advent of social media, telephones, televisions might have reduced the number of people reading books, but these other sources can serve the purpose of books.
Bill: How do you mean?
John: Well, books are sources of information and so are televisions, social media, and phones. <u>Besides, professors, scientists, and other learned people watch televisions most of the time and that has not reduced their intelligence or smartness.</u>

Bandwagon fallacy appeals to the fact that many people do a particular thing in order to validate such act. In the conversation above, John appeals to the fact that learned people also watch televisions and that has not affected their smartness.
