Previous research has shown that hypothetical scenarios are effective ways to inspire discussions with children, by making them feel they are not being judged. Therefore, we have developed a series of hypothetical scenarios about a cartoon character named
Bertie, who is an 8-year-old koala bear who likes playing with tablets, but is not always certain how to cope with unusual events taking place during his use of the mobile apps.
Story 1: How should Bertie think about new videos being promoted to him?
Story 2: How should Bertie manage social contact during his use of an app?
Story 3: What would Bertie think about his data being tracked by people via his
favorite apps?
