the age of technology (photo via Flickr/”PictureYouth”)

I got my first cell phone at 14 years old. That seems fairly old by today’s standards. Kids now have their hands on new devices every day it seems. The advances never cease. It’s safe to say Steve Jobs and other technological CEOs are the most knowledgeable when it comes to the latest and greatest technological progresses, but I was surprised to learn that these executives strictly limit how much time their kids are allowed to spend on techy gadgets.

In a recent article, a few tech-focused CEOs explained how they have witnessed the dangers of technology first-hand. Many of them monitor the content that their kids are exposed to, as well as only allow a set amount of time on any device in order to fight the addiction that has taken over this generation. They greatly stressed limitations and control when it comes to social media, video games, TV, etc. We live in such a tech-savvy world, and I think it’s good to be reminded of the dangers we could potentially face.
