Modern Technology
 Modern technology has become a total phenomenon for
civilization, the defining force of a new social order in
which efficiency is no longer an option but a necessity
imposed on all human activity.
Jacques Ellul
 I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the
'80s, where there wasn't texting, social media, iPhones, or
smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and
check your messages. I'm not well suited to the world of
modern technology.
Matthew Rhys

to protect
your computer’s security
•
•
•
•
[Go to CNET.com or download.com and search for
antivirus programs]
Use the free technology: pop-up blockers & SPAM filters; and your
good judgement: don’t reply to SPAM!
Be careful which sites the rest of the family visit
Use shortcuts and favourites that you trust
Check sites for extra security (padlock/https)
• Use child-friendly search engines or set a search filter
• Encourage them to use browser tools – Bookmarks & History
• Install filtering but don’t rely on it
• Have shared passwords
What you can do…
 Talk to your children about what to do if they do
come across something unpleasant and teach
them to be critical
 Find appropriate sites to visit and try not to
overreact – lots of inappropriate content viewed
accidentally
Filtering
 Google safe search
 Lock safe search
What you can do…
• Get involved with your children online and encourage
balanced use – set time limits
• Make sure they know who to talk to if they feel
uncomfortable
• Talk about the consequences of giving out personal info or
making information public
• Keep the computer in a family room
• Agree rules as a family – meeting up
SMART rules
SAFE – Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal
information – including full name and email address - to people
who you don’t trust online.
MEETING – Meeting up with someone you have only been in touch
with online can be dangerous. Only do so with your parent’s/carer’s
permission and even then only when they can be present.
ACCEPTING – Accepting e-mails, IM messages or opening
files from people you don’t know can be dangerous – they may
contain viruses or nasty messages!
RELIABLE
– Someone online may be lying about who they
are, and information you find on the internet may not be true.
Check information and advice on other websites, in books or ask
someone who may know.
TELL
– Tell your parent/carer or teacher if someone or
something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried, or you or
someone you know is being cyberbullied.
