Emily and David Jones, founders of Family Tech University, share what brought them into the technology niche and how their course is created for teens to empower them when it comes to tech use. Both David and Emily knew they needed to come at smartphones differently and didn't agree with the rhetoric of fear surrounding tech use. They began a journey to change the fear into empowerment and knowledge for their own family and many other families since! They teach how teens can develop an internal filter when outside filters are not set.
