Social Media In The Home

"Computer tablets, gaming systems, smartphones, and handheld devices -- digital technologies are proliferating faster than you can say, 'There's an app for that.' And, like a nuclear reaction that can power whole cities and level them -- they have vast powers for good and ill." - Jan Pinborough Spiritual Safety On the Web
We live in a time where the world is truly at our fingertips. The ways in which we communicate are changing faster than ever imagined. Elder Bednar said, "I raise an apostolic voice of warning about the potentially stifling, suffocating, suppressing and constraining impact of some kinds of cyberspace interactions and experiences upon our souls." - Things As They Really Are [Ensign 2010]
"So how can we harness technology's awesome potential while protecting ourselves and our loved ones from its potentially devastating ill effects?" -  Jan Pinborough
On Sunday, I am excited to lead our discussion on ways to keep our families and homes on the safe side of social media and technology!

I loved your thoughts at the end of the lesson on the "tree of life" and the proximity to the iron rod etc. I have been thinking about it much of the day - thank you!
