United States Federal Communications Commission
Family Place
Offices: Washington, DC
New technologies are changing the landscape
of their communications arena almost daily.
With an increasing number and variety of
communications entering their homes each
day, it can be hard for parents and caregivers
to monitor, or even track, what children
are watching and hearing. While technology
has great potential to teach the nation's
children, it also has the power to shape
their lives and opinions. The FCC has an
array of information to help parents deal
with, decipher, and monitor the communications
that their children can access. |
