In an article in the Sunday New York Times, technology reporter Nick Bilton has shared an interesting conversation which he had with Apple's late CEO Steve Jobs in late 2010, when Jobs was still leading the technology major.

The conversation revealed that Jobs - the creator of the iPhone, iPad and Mac computer - was surprisingly 'low tech' parent. He did not apparently allow his children - two teenage daughters and son - to play with technology devices.

Since the conversation almost coincided with the launch of Apple's revolutionary first-generation iPad tablet, Bilton asked Jobs whether his kids liked the iPad. Jobs replied that his children had not used the iPad; and added: "We limit how much technology our kids use at home."

Jobs' response left Bilton dumbfounded because he had perceived that Jobs' home was probably like a nerd's paradise!

Later, after Jobs' death due to pancreatic cancer in October 2011, Bilton asked Walter Isaacson - the author of 'Steve Jobs' - about what Jobs' children did at home. Isaacson told Bilton: "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."
