Steve Jobs was not “genius”; in reality he is an idea thief and exploiter..!
There is a few good documentaries one is called “rise of the hacker” and the other is “American Genius: Jobs vs Gates”
Steve Jobs knew how to take other peoples ideas and sell them; that is about it, he really was likely not that smart at all and likely knew nothing about how electronics even worked; id be surprised if he even knows basic programming skills or Ohms law…

Thank you Joe!

Not once did he try to force his choice on anyone. Or tell any parent that what they were doing was wrong.

Don’t you dare tell a parent anything that differs from their opinion or belief because you are always wrong. Their kid could be on fire, but heaven forbid you say something like, “you might not want to let them play near a fire pit.”.

No one knows how to be or is a great or bad parent 100% of the time. They just do what they can, and try to do what’s best for either themselves and/or their kids. If my kid is happy, healthy, and kind, I’d consider myself blessed, if they went on to do amazing things , well that’s just icing on the cake.

Personally I’d rather give my kid puzzles or a DIY project than give them an IPad. That is my choice and my right. I don’t care what the rest of the world does. It isn’t a competition on who’s the best parent. I’d just rather work with my kid doing silly little things, laughing creating, and possibly gluing our fingers together.

I do believe computers and other technological devices are great at connecting, and getting information quickly, so I plan on introducing it to them later in life.

Till then glue sticks, colored paper, and arts & crafts.

Yes but he made something about his life while spending it in front of a screen so your point is really not valid in this argument. The fact is he is not an expert in parenting.

Sadly, people don’t think before they post, and could give two shits about what people say about their posts after the fact. Please, everyone, think before you spew stupid things.

But i’m even more disappointed in myself for wasting time responding. Yuck.

Yes he was a genius and I would take any advice he had to give about technology but as far as being a husband or parent he was the worst possible example. I say give your kids technology JUST because this terrible husband/father says not to…
