in his own house. Apparently he was one of many technology CEOs who restricted his kids' screen time (with the exception of school work) to weekends only and then for a limited amount of time.

He was smart and he wanted his kids to be smart. I do not own an ipad nor will I buy one for my kid. I feel very strongly that kids should not be exposed to too much technology because it makes them dumber and it causes attention problems later in life. Parents nowadays are lazy.

I've started noticing lately that I have difficulty, as an adult, staying on task. Instead I flit from task to task. I NEVER did this until I got an iphone (upgraded from my gray screen flip phone) and a tablet. I'm considering limiting myself to using the phone 2-3 times a day or when someone calls me. If I go 4hrs without returning a text, so be it.

If he would have eaten more Col. Sander's excellent fried chicken and quit making technology I'll bet he would be alive today.

Agreed. An actual book is better than reading from an electronic device anyways.
