Rocket is quiet at the bench. "Yesterday I almost tapped that prize message. What if I had?" Raven sits beside him. "What do you notice about how you feel right now?"
"Worried," he says. "Good," says Raven. "Worried is a signal. It tells you to stop and check."
Nova lands softly on the bench. "Would you like a hint? A technician does not need to be perfect. A technician needs a plan."
This week was about locks and copies. Passwords lock the door. Updates fix the holes. Backups keep a spare.
But the most important tool is you. When something on a screen feels wrong, that feeling is a signal.
Maybe a message is too exciting. Maybe a pop-up is too scary. Maybe a game asks a question that feels too personal.
The plan is the same every time. Stop. Close or put the device down. Tell a grown-up.
| Problem | Lock or plan | Who does it |
|---|---|---|
| Someone could guess the key | Strong password, kept secret | A grown-up keeps it |
| Software has a hole | Install the update | A grown-up with you |
| A device could be lost | Backup in a different place | A grown-up copies, you check |
| A message feels wrong | Stop, think, tell | You stop, a grown-up decides |
Read each case. Choose the tool or the plan. Say who does it.
| Statement | True or false? |
