in #trending7 years ago

*Speaking at a school in England on Friday, Cook said he didn't want his nephew to use social media, according to The Guardian. He also argued that the use of tech in schools should be limited.

"I don't have a kid, but I have a nephew that I put some boundaries on," Cook said, according to The Guardian. "There are some things that I won't allow; I don't want them on a social network."

He said he didn't believe in overuse of technology, adding: "I'm not a person that says we've achieved success if you're using it all the time ... I don't subscribe to that at all."

And while technology companies such as Apple have for years pushed their products on schools, Cook acknowledged that sometimes an iPad is inappropriate in the classroom.

"There are still concepts that you want to talk about and understand," he said, according to the Guardian report. "In a course on literature, do I think you should use technology a lot? Probably not."*Steem IT.jpg
