When it comes to technology, it is better to teach self-control.
TV can be viewed as a negative influence on peoples' lives because of the programs that are aired or it can be a good influence on people's lives depending on the individual knowing how to use self-control and watch programs that are educational or informative.
Internet can be viewed as a negative influence as well. Many married people have abandoned their spouse and children to meet with a stranger they met online. Teenage girls have ran away from home to meet with a stranger (adult men) Easy access to pornography and other perversed material. However, it can be used as a positive influence as well - very informative. Can keep friends and loved ones connected through communication.
Radio, phones, - any thing can be bad or good depending how it is used.
magazines, books - self-control on what you read
According to the Bible, long before there was technology - (TV, internet, radio, phones etc.), there was murder, adultery, idolatry, rape, incest, homosexuality, perversed sexual sins happening in the world - where did the bad influence come from then?
Just my humble opinion - not that it counts.
