  5. VS.

  6. Telephones in the 1970s used a rotary dial that required you to dial a number, placing your finger in the allotted slot and turning the dial until it stopped for each number. The push button phone became more common as the '70s progressed and eventually replaced the rotary phone. All telephones of the 1970s required a physical connection called a "landline," as the signal for the telephone traveled through wires put in place by the phone company. To save money, rural families would share the same line known as a "party line." These became obsolete for privacy reasons as the '70s came to an end.

  11. Cons to growing up online

  12. “Cyber bullying occurs when one person bullies another by spreading insults and rumors by means of e-mails, text messages, or anonymous phone calls or posts embarrassing videos of the victim on the internet. The adolescents who are most likely to be involved are those who are most technologically proficient.” Kathleen S. Berger

  13. Tips • 1. Place your computer in an open-access area. • 2. Talk with your children about the Internet. • 3. Bookmark child-friendly sites. • 4. Teach your children to avoid giving out personal information. • 5. Check your browser history routinely. • 6. Know the parents of your children’s friends. • 7. Ask your Internet Service Provider (ISP) about filtering methods to block inappropriate information before it gets to your home. • 8. Share your learning with others. -Eric L. Denna, president of the BYU Sixth Stake

  14. Today’s American teens live in a world enveloped by communications technologies; the internet and cell phones have become a central force that fuels the rhythm of daily life. The number of teenagers using the internet has grown 24% in the past four years and 87% of those between the ages of 12 and 17 are online. Compared to four years ago, teens’ use of the internet has intensified and broadened as they log on more often and do more things when they are online.” - Amanda Lenhart, Paul Hitlin, Mary Madden

  16. “Technology has its benefits, but when you take a look at how it has affected society in general and how people interact with one another, you will quickly see that it has a negative impact. Modern technology has allowed people to communicate with just about anyone they want to at any given time and although this may sound like a good thing, the fact remains that people do not interact personally with one another as often as they used to. This has created a barrier in personable, face-to-face communication amongst people because they no longer have to hold a meeting in an office or they no longer have to call up a friend or family member to wish them a happy birthday or congratulate them on their recent success.” • AydanCorken;

  17. FUN FACTS

Fully 58% of 12-year olds now own a cell phone • - Over the past ten years, teens and young adults have been consistently the two groups most likely to go online, even as the internet population has grown and even with documented larger increases in certain age cohorts (e.g. adults 65 and older). • -Nearly two-thirds of teen internet users (63%) go online every day – 36% of teens go online several times a day and 27% go online about once a day! • -As of September 2009, 58% of 12 year olds have a cell phone, much lower than the 73% of 13 year olds and the 83% of 17 year olds who own a mobile device.

  19. Ifc’s • Always let the Spirit guide you as you make decisions about what to watch, play, or read. Follow the promptings you receive. • Get software that blocks pornography and pop-ups on your Internet service.With your parents’ permission, place the computer in an open place in your home where others usually walk by. • Check book reviews, and read book covers before buying books. Avoid books that are obviously inappropriate. • When you go to the pictures or rent a movie, make sure you know the rating, and read the reviews ahead of time. That way you will be able to make an informed decision about whether to watch the film. • Don’t look at inappropriate magazine covers in shops. Focus on something else so your eyes won’t stray to the section where they are displayed. • Be aware of the words in the songs you listen to or sing along with. Think about whether the words, message, volume, or beat of the music would be offensive to the Spirit. • Check ratings on CDs before you buy them. • Be careful watching television at night when programming tends to be less family oriented. • If you have seen or heard something you didn’t want to see or hear, sing a hymn to yourself and say a prayer to invite the Spirit. • Have your parents block channels you do not want to accidentally switch to on your television. • Avoid gossip stories even if they are in what seems to be a reputable magazine or newspaper. • Stay away from video games that are violent, immoral, or use bad language. Check the ratings of the games you buy or play. • If you realize you have made a bad media choice, turn it off, put it down, or walk out.

  20. GOSPEL STANDPOINT

  21. You live in a day of marvelous technologies that give you easy access to a wide variety of media, including the Internet, mobile devices, video games, television, movies, music, books, and magazines. The information and entertainment provided through these media can increase your ability to learn, communicate, and become a force for good in the world. However, some information and entertainment can lead you away from righteous living. Choose wisely when using media because whatever you read, listen to, or look at has an effect on you. Select only media that uplifts you.Take care that your use of media does not dull your sensitivity to the Spirit or interfere with your personal relationships with others. Spending long periods of time using the Internet or a mobile device, playing video games, or watching television or other media can keep you from valuable interactions with other people. Be careful that your use of social media does not replace spending time with your family and friends - President Monson, President Eyring, President Uchtdorf -For the Strength of Youth

  22. President Brigham Young offered some advice to his own children that could also be applied to situations you may face today. He encouraged his children to study music and dance, to attend the theater, and to read novels—things that, he said, “expand their frames, add fire to their spirits, and improve their minds” - Brigham Young

  23. “Despite the rampant inappropriate material, there are still many books, films, and music selections that are wholesome and can “add fire to our spirits and improve our minds.” You will become informed and more well-rounded by surrounding yourself with material that is both uplifting and inspiring.” - LDS.org-youth
