Why did Steve Jobs forbid his children from using iPads at home?
Although Apple invented the iPad, as one of the important designers of this product, Steve Jobs did not allow his children to use the iPad at home. Why? Adam Alter, a professor at New York University, explained the reason. As early as 2010, after Steve Jobs released the first iPad, someone asked him: "Do your children like to use the iPad?" He said: "In fact, we don't allow them to use the iPad at home. We think it has a serious impact on them." As for why it is not allowed, he said that he later realized that as a tool for publishing content to users, it is too easy for people to get addicted. As long as the iPad is in front of you, or you take it with you when you go out, you will always find a way to use these very attractive platforms, which is too irresistible. Steve Jobs' children, like other children, will be attracted by the charm of the iPad and what it brings. Smart electronic devices are indeed very convenient and are also good learning aids. Many families will choose to equip their children with a smart device. If a device can be used properly, it is indeed an ideal learning aid, but if the child's self-control is not so strong, they will easily sink into this device. Parents should guide their children's usage habits.
