                     Similarly,  when we use  the  Internet  and  digital  tools,  it’s  important  to  act  responsibly.  Being
                     mindful, respectful and honest while interacting with technology is called Digital Responsibility.

                     In this chapter, you will explore the concept of responsible technology use, how to stay safe online
                     and the ethical principles that guide our digital behaviour. Let's begin with the importance of using
                     technology in a responsible manner.

                     RESPONSIBLE USE OF TECHNOLOGY

                     In  today’s  digital  world, technology  plays  a significant  role in our daily  lives. Whether it’s  a
                     computer, smartphone or tablet, these tools help us communicate, work, study and entertain
                     ourselves. However, it is important to use technology responsibly to ensure our safety and to
                     respect the rights of others. Examples of responsible technology use:

                       Students can learn difficult subjects by watching educational videos.
                       Families who live in different cities can talk and see each other through video calls.

                       A cell phone makes it easy to contact the police or doctors in an emergency.

                       Using computers, students can research information for school projects.
                       Social media allows people to stay connected with friends and share important moments.

                       Tablets can be used to read books or listen to audiobooks, making learning more interactive.

                                                                                     Ethics and Digital Responsibility  65
