This is the reason why Steve Jobs prohibited him their children have a Iphone

Most people think that the family of co-founder of one of the most important companies in the world, enjoy the privileges of their products. But this is not the case of Steve Jobs, who had forbidden their children to have an iPhone, an iPad or any device created by your company.

The New York Times reporter Nick Bilton interviewed Jobs in 2010 and one of the questions was:

- Your kids must love the iPad, is not it? To which Jobs replied:

- They have not used. We limit the amount of technology that children use at home.

Most would imagine that the house of this visionary technology would be a palace, but his home was not even close to what we all thought really.

However, Jobs was not the only one who adopted this basis for the education of their children. In fact, there are a lot of magnates and visionaries surrounded by technology , who confessed to similar situations. Some prefer to strictly limit the time their children spend in front of a screen and may even forbid him during ascetics periods  the weekends.

A lot of presidents of the largest companies in Silicon Valley, he maintain strict rules to their children about technology, whether computers, smartphones or tablets. An example is the CEO of 3D Robotics, Chris Anderson, who confessed "experience the dangers of technology." Because of this, he decided to restrict access to their children. "I have lived and do not want my children to go through the same."

The co-creator of Twitter and "Medium" platform, Evan Williams, prefer their children to grow up with books, so they bought thousands and placed around the house.

This sounds really incredible for many people, because parenting style that have these parents would there were no been the most logical. Actually, most parents opt for their children "they entertain" with technology and surround them with a lot of gadgets and devices.

Much research has shown that abuse of technology is capable of creating a real addiction to devices. In fact, in China there are camps for children addicted to Internet. It is almost certain that children They will encounter undesirable content unsuitable for minors, full of violence and pornography.

However, we must also accept that there are many applications for children, that stimulate and help with the development of intelligence, but remember that nothing will replace human contact and direct teaching with affection.

We must reflect on appropriate levels of technology for our children. Probably, it's best to maintain a balance without excesses and limit their use and involve to children in other traditional stimuli, such as outdoor games, become dirty from time to time and read a book; like we used to do many of us.
