About Steve Jobs and IPhones

When Steve jobs led Apple, he forbade his children to sit too long with iPads and iPhones. Why? Journalist the New York Times ' Nick Bilton during one interview asked jobs question: Apparently, your kids are crazy about the iPad? And received this answer: "They don't use it. At home we limit the time that children spend with the screens of iPads".
AdMe.EN I agree that the man who made a huge contribution to the development of technology, aware of their dangers greater. And here is something to think about.
The journalist was stunned by this reaction. He somehow thought that the house of jobs is full of touch screens and iPads he distributes to guests instead of sweets. But this is not so.
In General, most technology executives and entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley to limit the time children spend in front of screens, be it computers, smart phones or tablets. In the family of Steve jobs there was even a ban on the use of gadgets at night and on weekends. Likewise, other gurus from the world of technology.
This may seem strange. But, apparently, CEOs of IT giants know something you do not know the townsfolk.
Chris Anderson, former editor of Wired, who now became chief Executive of 3D Robotics, has imposed restrictions on the use of gadgets for family members. He even set up devices so that each of them could not use more than a couple hours a day.
"My kids accuse me and my wife that we too are concerned about the impact of technology. They say that none of friends is not forbidden to use the gadgets," he says.
In Anderson five children, from 6 to 17 years of age, and restrictions apply to each of them.
"That's because I see the danger of the overuse of Internet like no other. I know what problems I faced myself, and I don't want these same problems were my children," he explains.
The "dangers" of the Internet Anderson implies irrelevant content and the opportunity for children to become dependent on new technologies as well as become addicted to many adults.
Some go even further. Alex Constantinople, CEO of the OutCast Agency, said that her five year old son does not use gadgets during the week. The other two children who are 10 to 13 years old can use a tablet or PC in the house no longer than 30 minutes a day.
Evan Williams, founder of Blogger and Twitter, said that his two sons also have such restrictions. In their house hundreds of paper books, and the child can read them indefinitely. But with tablets and smartphones increasingly difficult — they can use them no longer than an hour a day.
Studies show that children under ten years old are particularly receptive to new technologies and become practically addicted to them. So Steve jobs was right: researchers say that children should not be allowed to use tablets more than an hour a day, and smartphones — more than two hours a day. For 10-14 year-olds are allowed to use computers, but only for homework.
In General, the fashion for IT-the bans comes into American homes more and more often. Some parents forbid children to use social networking for Teens (e.g., Snapchat). This allows them not to worry about what their children post on the Internet: because thoughtless posts left in childhood, can harm their authors in adult life.
Scientists say that the age at which you can remove restrictions on the use of technology — 14 years. Although Anderson even his 16-year-old children shielded from the screens in the bedroom. From any, even the TV screen. Dick Costolo, CEO of Twitter, allow their kids to use the gadgets in the living room alone and are not allowed to bring them into the bedroom.
What can you do with your children? The author of the book about Steve Jobs says that the gadgets with which was associated his name, it was easily replaced with dealing with children and discussed books, history - anything. But none of them while talking with the father no desire to get an iPhone or an iPad.
As a result, his children grew up independent from the Internet. Are you ready for such restrictions?
