Technology billionaires, including Peter Thiel and Bill Gates, take a cautious approach to their children's use of technology, imposing strict limits. Thiel revealed that he allows his children to use screens for only one and a half hours a week, while Gates did not provide them with smartphones before the age of 14.


This trend has grown amid concerns about the negative impact of excessive device use, especially short-form content, on the mental health and cognitive performance of young people. Recent studies confirm these fears, showing a correlation between short video content consumption and cognitive issues. In this context, critical reactions against social networks are increasing, and some countries, such as Australia and Malaysia, have begun to ban access for teenagers under 16 to these platforms.
