Ariadne's Thread in the Digital Labyrinth

Enter the Labyrinth

Welcome to the Digital Maze! Here, your choices about the Internet and Artificial Intelligence will determine your path. To get out, you must make the right decisions.

Συνχεια

Inside, information flows like a river, but not all of it is clear. Shadows lurk: lies, traps, and digital illusions. To emerge into the light again, you must prove your judgment. 10 Crossroads await you. At each one, a correct decision will give you a golden piece of the Myth. A wrong decision will send you to the dark lair of Pythia to hear her oracle and try again. Collect all 10 pieces to weave your way back.

The Lernaean Hydra of Fake News

Scenario: You see a shocking headline from an unknown blog: "OFFICIAL: Panhellenic Exams are being canceled starting this year!". You see a news story that the Oracle of Delphi is closing. Do you share it?

No, I check the source.
Yes, immediately.

The Lernaean Hydra of Fake News

A video is circulating where a famous YouTuber curses at his fans. However, his mouth movement seems a bit "robotic."

I suspect it's a Deepfake. I'm looking for the original video.
I believe it and write angry comments against it.

The Lernaean Hydra of Fake News

Remember

You won the 1st part of the Myth! I always cross-check my sources

"If something shocks you, that's exactly what it takes for you to share it without thinking."

Proceed to the next crossroads.

The Sirens of Phishing (Electronic Fraud)

"I received an email: 'Your account will be closed. Click here to confirm.'" Question: What 2 signs are suspicious?

Pressure/threat (“it will close”) Asks for codes/information
It has a friend's name. It's in Greek.

The Sirens of Phishing (Electronic Fraud)

You receive an email: "Congratulations! You won the new iPhone 15! Click HERE now to claim it, or you lose it!".

Click now! I'm not missing an opportunity like this!
I delete the email. I never click on urgent messages about gifts.

The Sirens of Phishing (Electronic Fraud)

Remember:

You won the 2nd part of the Myth! I don't fall for the "bait" of urgency and free offers.

"Rule: I give what is needed. Not 'what he asks for'."

Proceed to the next crossroads.

"Narcissus on Instagram"

A stranger promises you digital glory and thousands of followers, all you have to do is send him a photo of you to be processed with AI. What do you do?

I'm sending it to him. I want to be the next digital star!
I refuse. My privacy is more important than fame.

"Narcissus on Instagram"

Remember

Congratulations! You won the 3rd part of the Myth! I protect my personal data and do not share photos with strangers.

Proceed to the next crossroads.

Remember the code

Continue

"Oops. That was trap with an 'urgent' flavor! If they're pushing you now and then, something stinks."

AI as Omniscient God

You have to write a paper for school. You'll use Artificial Intelligence to do it all for you.

I only use it as an aid for ideas and write the text in my own words.
Yes, I copy-paste all the work. AI knows everything!

AI as Omniscient God

Remember

Excellent! You won the 4th part of the Myth! AI is a tool for inspiration, but critical thinking and the source of knowledge belong to me.

Proceed to the next crossroads.

The Shield of Achilles (Strong Passwords & 2FA)

You are creating an account on the new popular game. You need to choose a password.

I put "password123" or my dog's name so I can remember it easily.
I create a long phrase with numbers and symbols, and enable 2-step verification (2FA)

The Shield of Achilles (Strong Passwords & 2FA)

If a long, complex password acts as your digital "Shield of Achilles" to deflect attacks, what specific vulnerability does Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) protect against to ensure you don't suffer from an "Achilles' heel"?

It prevents unauthorized access even if your password is stolen through phishing or a company data breach.
It stops hackers from guessing your password using automated brute-force attacks.
It encrypts your device's hard drive so thieves cannot extract your saved passwords.

The Shield of Achilles (Strong Passwords & 2FA)

Remember

Congratulations! You won the 5th part of the Myth! My digital shield requires complex passwords and double locking (2FA).

"Name+date of birth = hacker is having a party 🎉"

Proceed to the next crossroads.

The Stone of Anathematism(Cyberbullying & Empathy)

In a group chat, everyone is harshly mocking a classmate for a photo of them.

I am not participating and am sending a personal message of support to the classmate.
I post reactions with laughter so I don't seem "crazy".

The Stone of Anathematism(Cyberbullying & Empathy)

In a class group chat, a student uploads an awkward photo of Maria and writes: “Haha, look at her! 🤡” Others start laughing and writing comments. Maria writes: “Delete please” but no one stops.

I'm sharing this with others "so they can see what happened"
I report/block and inform an adult (teacher/parent).
I respond more rudely to "put them in their place."

In the digital world, I choose kindness. I don't become part of the mob.

Excellent! You won the 6th piece of the thread!

"Block/Report is not 'pin'. It's 'protect'."

Remember:
Proceed to the next crossroads.
I accept that this is how scientists are, since the machine says so.
"Artificial Intelligence simply copies and reproduces the stereotypes that already exist on the internet.

You ask an AI to create images of "successful scientists." It only gives you images of old white men.

Your team is making a poster about “Internet Safety.” In the chat, someone writes: “Come on, Giannis does these technical things better, girls don’t have it with technology.” Another replies: “That’s right, and the “grown-ups” don’t understand anything about the internet anyway.”

I stop the discussion and say that this is stereotypical/unfair — I suggest we divide roles based on interest/abilities, not gender/age
I exclude people who “don’t have it” without trying.
I agree "for fun", it's okay

The Biased Judge (Algorithmic Bias)

Remember:

14+3

Excellent! You won the 7th part of the Thread! Algorithms have the prejudices of the people who created them. I judge them, I don't blindly accept them.

Proceed to the next crossroads.

It's 2 a.m. You have school tomorrow, but TikTok keeps showing you great videos.

One more and that's it..." (and another hour passes).
I turn off my phone and leave it away from the bed. Sleep is more important.

The Screen Eaters (Digital Wellbeing & Addiction)

Remember:

14+3

Excellent! You won the 8th piece of the Myth! I control technology. I know when to disconnect.

Proceed to the next crossroads.

You're at a party and you take a really embarrassing photo of a friend who's had a little too much to drink. Everyone says, "Upload it, it'll be hilarious!"

You don't bring it up. You think this might hurt him in the future (e.g., when he's looking for a job).
You're uploading it. Come on, we're just kidding, it'll be forgotten tomorrow.

The Imprint That Remains (Digital Footprint)

Remember:

Excellent! You won the 9th part of the Thread! "The internet doesn't forget. I think about the future before posting something that could harm me or others."

Proceed to the next crossroads.

The Unknown Friend (Online Grooming / Contacts with strangers)

You're playing an online game and a teammate you've been talking to for a while says to you: "You're really good! Since we live close, do you want to meet at the park tomorrow to talk in person? Don't tell your parents, let's keep it a surprise."

You categorically refuse and immediately report it to a parent or teacher.
You accept, he seems like an okay guy and you're friends online.

The Unknown Friend (Online Grooming / Contacts with strangers)

Remember:

Excellent! You won the 10th part of the Thread! "I never secretly meet people I only met online. I always inform an adult."

14+3

Proceed to the next crossroads.

Η ζυγαριά που ξεχωρίζει την αλήθεια από το ψέμα.
