Steve Jobs certainly appeared to think so. In a
New York Times
article published this week, journalist Nick Bilton recalls how he once put it to Jobs that his kids must love the iPod, but to his surprise Jobs replied, "They haven't used it. We limit how much technology our kids use at home."We limit how much technology our kids use at home," said Jobs way back in 2010, expressing growing concerns about his children's gadget use.
"Every evening Steve made a point of having dinner at the big long table in their kitchen, discussing books and history and a variety of things. No one ever pulled out an iPad or computer. The kids did not seem addicted at all to devices."

Chris Anderson, former editor of Wired, also believes in setting strict time limits and parental controls on every device at home. "My kids accuse me and my wife of being fascists. They say that none of their friends have the same rules. That's because we have seen the dangers of technology first hand. I've seen it in myself, I don't want to see that happen to my kids."
Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles recently published a study which demonstrated that just a few days after abstaining from using electronic gadgets, children's social skills improved immediately.
