A friend of mine taught one of Jobs' kinds in elementary school. While Jobs lived in a "normal" neighborhood and not in a gated etc. enclave up in the redwoods, he also saw to it that his kids had every educational support / advantage.
As for technology and what parents call "screen time,"it's all about limits.
One thing we know, kids who grow up in houses without TV and with "portion control" on technology, and plenty of books etc., certainly seem to be just fine adults.
I cannot stand people who are addicted to TV...you know the type, if there is a TV on anywhere near them, they are transfixed by it.
I turn the TV on on Sat/Sunday only, during football season -- and during track season when there are events on.
I'd rather read foreign newspapers online than watch anything on TV with commercials.
--I will stream top reviewed (read: not top rated) dramatic series, with the commercials stripped out, at any give time the number of episodic series I will watch in a week, is like 2. I'd rather be working, creating, exercising.
"Anything in real life is better than anything on TV."
Balance, limits.
As for Steve Jobs, well, he sure had his jerkwad side, he also had great vision and quality control...
Takes all kinds to make up the world.
I bet the Apple Watch would have been more interesting had he been alive...
