Maximizing the Benefits of Modern Technology while Minimizing the Negative Moral Impact

In light of our recent Stake Conference Saturday Night session, we were all brought to a realization of how important it is to embrace the advances in technology of late in order to benefit the spread of the Gospel.

I found this and thought it was very applicable to what was presented.

You may consider expanding on this topic for a RS Meeting.

Many ward members are valuable resources you could use to explore some of these topics and present additional information.

I found it on a website called Internet Safety Podcast (the link is HERE)

Here’s the description from the KBYU-FM site:

We have gained many comforts and abilities through technology, but at what price? We’re not looking to rain on the technology parade, but merely to reflect on just how radically our lives have indeed been altered by it. Join us to explore some subtle risks of technology, problems that most people don’t seem to notice or care much about.
