GUIText replacement?

Alright so I'm learning unity right now and I opened my game this morning and ran into this error code 

Assets\Standard Assets\Utility\SimpleActivatorMenu.cs(11,16): error CS0619: 
'GUIText' is obsolete: 'GUIText has been removed. Use UI.Text instead.'

I have tried replacing GUIText with UI.Text however that lead to a different error messages of:

Assets\Standard Assets\Utility\SimpleActivatorMenu.cs(11,16): error CS0246:
The type or namespace name 'UI' could not be found (are you missing a using
directive or an assembly reference?)

or

Assets\Standard Assets\Utility\SimpleActivatorMenu.cs(11,16): error CS0246:
The type or namespace name 'UIText' could not be found (are you missing a using
directive or an assembly reference?)

Can anybody help me out here?

Don't forget to change your Library to the following:

Using UnityEngine.UI;

instead of

Using UnityEngine;

I'm new to Unity. And I hope it works.

and then replace :

GUIText with Text

you can just replace it using Text from UnityEngine.UI

Here's an example:

using UnityEngine.UI;

namespace YourNameSpace.Utility
{
    public class YourClass : MonoBehaviour
    {
        public Text myText;

        void Start()
        {
          myText.text = "Your text here";
        }

    }
}

You cannot simply replace GUIText with Text unfortunately. Check this answer out:

GUIText is deprecated, so what should I use instead of it?
