| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this paper is to review research regarding technology's impact on
families today. This paper reviews new and varied technologies, such as cell phones, the
Internet, video games, and television, and their influence on youth in current generations.
The benefits and the negative effects of technology on children and families are explored.
Lastly, the paper outlines a newsletter series specifically designed to educate parents and
children on the significant contributions of technology and offers recommendations to help
reduce the negative aspects of technology.
The nine-issue newsletter series focuses on topics of interest to parents and children
and suggests ways to preserve the positive aspects of technology while also calling
attention to the negative aspects of these technological devices. Many families today have
a shortage of time; therefore, this newsletter series is a quick way for parents and children
to gain knowledge and enhance communication on various topics. The newsletter series
includes (Issue 1) Parenting in the Digital Age; (Issue 2) Cell Phones: Connecting to
Family and Friends Safely; (Issue 3) Cyberspace: Suifing Safely Online; (Issue 4)
Cyberbullying; (Issue 5) Media Influences; (Issue 6) Social Networking: Socialize Safely
Online; (Issue 7) Obesity and Sedentary Lifestyles; (Issue 8) Media Violence; (Issue 9)
