In a recent interview with the Mirror, Bill Gates, the tech mogul, revealed his stringent rules regarding his children’s use of technology, despite his pivotal role in its proliferation.
Gates disclosed that his children were prohibited from owning their own cellphones until the age of 14. He emphasized setting a screen time limit and forbidding cellphones at the dinner table, although they are permitted for educational purposes.
The Gates children, aged 20, 17, and 14, now meet the minimum age for phone ownership, yet they remain prohibited from having any Apple products in the household—a stance influenced by Gates’ historic rivalry with Apple’s founder, Steve Jobs.
