Read our privacy policy Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has revealed that he limits his children’s exposure to technology. “We don’t have cellphones at the table when we are having a meal, we didn’t give our kids cellphones until they were 14 and they complained other kids got them earlier.” Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who famously clashed with Mr Gates on numerous occasions, had a similar approach. We limit how much technology our kids use at home.” Walter Isaacson, who wrote the biography Steve Jobs, backed this up when describing the Jobs family’s evening meals. The kids did not seem addicted at all to devices.” Bill Gates this week told The Independent that Britain must not let the Brexit vote be used as an excuse to slash aid funding and divert efforts away from helping the poorest communities in countries around the world.
