Technology and Music

The type of music available to teenagers is unlimited. Music is available on media sites, IPods, downloaded to phones and even on the Kindle. Almost all devices available have some form of music available to teenagers which they listen to on daily basis. In order for parents to limit the type of music teens listen to they would have to monitor using several different types of controls. ITunes is a good example they have parental controls located in the iTunes Preferences that parents can use to set content restrictions.

Social network radio allows teenagers to listen to various types of music as well as view the videos. The impact music has on teenagers is still an issue that is debated. Parents try to monitor the music teenagers listen to but with media sites such as You Tube this is becoming more difficult. Parents will need to take the time to use different parental controls available to monitor music available to teenagers.
