Alejandro downloaded a new game onto his phone. The game has two default settings. One setting sends notifications whenever one of your friends starts playing the game. The other displays a tracker of how many days in a row you have played the game. Why might Alejandro consider changing these default settings?

• The default settings will make it more difficult to concentrate on the game.

• The settings might distract him from other things he enjoys doing, and he'll end up spending too much time playing the game.

• Not many of his friends play this game, so the settings are unnecessary.

• You don't get a reward for playing the game, so the tracking display is not meaningful.
