I swear heavy use affects memory in that we are often much less engaged. I’ve had people I’ve ‘known’ forever but still didn’t know their name. After some reduction for even just a few weeks I see a difference.

i can see that being true

“So, your kids must love the iPad?” I asked Mr. Jobs, trying to change the subject. The company’s first tablet was just hitting the shelves.

“They haven’t used it,” he told me. “We limit how much technology our kids use at home.”

I’m sure I responded with a gasp and dumbfounded silence. I had imagined the Jobs’s household was like a nerd’s paradise: that the walls were giant touch screens, the dining table was made from tiles of iPads and that iPods were handed out to guests like chocolates on a pillow.

Nope, Mr. Jobs told me, not even close.

Additionally, Jobs' biographer wrote that, 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. They never pulled out a phone or tablet. Smart man.

Thanks much! Shows some people how things can be done in moderation successfully.
