STeb JOB VOIX

Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, had a surprising aversion to screens, especially for children. Despite his passion for technology, he limited his own children's use of gadgets such as iPads. His spiritual journey to India in 1974 influenced his design ethos and minimalist approach at Apple. Despite being a billionaire, he famously only took a $1 annual salary as CEO. Hello, I'm Steve Jobs. I bet the third fact about me will now make you see me in a different light. Do you know that despite my passion for technology, I was quite wary of screens, especially for children. You probably know me as the co-founder of Apple, the company behind innovations like the iMac, iPod, and of course, the iPhone. I severely limited the use of these gadgets at home. In fact, in a 2010 interview with the New York Times, I mentioned that my children had never used an iPad. We limit how much technology our kids use at home. Before founding Apple, I embarked on a seven-month spiritual journey to India in 1974, seeking enlightenment and immersing myself in Buddhist practices. This experience profoundly influenced my life, instilling a Zen philosophy that shaped my design ethos and minimalist approach at Apple. I was also known for my symbolic $1 annual salary as the CEO, despite this ridiculous income. I was a billionaire thanks to my stock in Apple and my majority ownership of Pixar.
