1. "All of these Advancements are Part of the Lord hastening His work in the Latter Days."

          I love Elder Bednar! He is such a great speaker, and the two talks we were assigned to read really got me thinking about how we are using technology. Technology is a great tool that we can use to share the gospel, do family history, and other positive works, yet if we are not careful, it can also be used against us. I know I often go on the computer to start my homework, but then realize about an hour later that I got sidetracked and wasted time reading about an unimportant event such as "Kourtney Kardashian is expecting a third child!" It is so easy to get carried away and waste the precious time we have on this earth solely through the useless substances of the internet.

      
          Technology is also replacing the opportunities we have to interact with different people on a daily basis. A rule I have set for myself is to never take my phone out when I'm at a social gathering. It is so easy to avoid real life interactions when we are so set on staring at our phones the whole night. While we are on our phones we could be meeting new people, developing friendships, and strengthening relationships. Although, it is easy to get lost in this cyber world, we are blessed to have it in this day and age. We must know our limits and use it as a resource to share the gospel to people everywhere.
      
          As members of the church, we know of the fulness, and it is our responsibility to share the happiness we have with those who are still seeking. We need to build up the Lord's kingdom, and we can speed up this process and "sweep the earth as with a flood" through technology.
