Which of the following is NOT an example of responsible use of technology?

• A. Teaching a friend or family member how to navigate social media.
• B. Responding to fellow users with compassion and dignity.
• C. Tracking your physical fitness using an app.
• D. Sitting alone playing a game on your phone all night.

Answer: (D)

Responsible use of technology means using digital tools in ways that support well-being, respect others, and avoid causing harm. Teaching a friend or family member how to navigate social media helps people use the platforms more safely and confidently, which is a constructive use. Responding to fellow users with compassion and dignity models respectful online behavior and supports a positive online community. Tracking your physical fitness with an app uses technology to improve health and stay motivated, a practical benefit of tech use. Sitting alone playing a game on your phone all night, however, tends to disrupt sleep, health, and daily responsibilities and can lead to social withdrawal, making it not an example of responsible use.
