He doesn't put him self on the very top, he doesn't make a big deal of his invention, he just love what he does. He is full of respect to his partner. This guy win in life.
Steve Jobs is the visionary leader and salesman of Apple. Wozniak is the brains and heart of Apple at least the original Apple. Such an amazing inventor, tinkerer, engineer, and human being. So grounded and humble and open to sharing.
+80schampion Although I would argue that Jobs was also the heart of Apple. Also, he surely learnt a lot from Woz. Bill Gates once said "even though Jobs is not an engineer, he has amazing intuition for what works and how to do it". I think much of this comes from spending so much time with Woz in the early days.
The Hacks-By-Jack Channel Without Wozniak's technical expertise and support there would have never been Apple and Steve Jobs would have possibly ended as a visionary lunatic frying at McDo or selling insurance on the phone.
Wozniak truthfully and transparently shows his discoveries, beliefs, passions and evolution. That is a true human! He's an incredible computer inventor era and yet he has his little paper notes. 😂😂 We NEED to learn more from Wozniak.
My dad's work colleague invited him to New Zealand for an Apple convention, to his surprise - He turned up! So he stayed with the colleague. Much respect to this guy.
Donald E. Riley Nice point :-) Us "old timers" that fully lived the computer revolution, I myself had the first b/w videogames in 1978 and programmed in Basic by 1983, do still prefer "analogic" support. Today I do own 2 computers and iPhone and an iPad, I'm online 24/7 since 1998, I do work (oviously) online and am part of a revolutionary Mobile marketing company....but I still fucken have paper and pencil available anywhere. :-) It's 100% reliable, never runs out of memory and can be easily stored for years without any care.
Woz is a great guy. If you want to get to know him a bit better...read his book: "I Woz". I only know him from his interviews and, his book but, he is the kind of guy I could just meet on the street and talk for hours with.
Sorry, it won't be - especially @ Berkeley... :'( Do yourself a favour and research why that's the case.. ..and if you decide to go there after all, hack it back :-)
Steve Wozniak has the heart at the right spot! He got what life is all about, the polar opposite to Steve Jobs. Where Steve Jobs wants to restrict, confine and lockdown products possibilities... Steve Wozniak wants to explore the possibilities of them, in a child like manner with eyes wide open looking for fun together with everyone. Unlike Steve Jobs that only looked to enrich himself, limit customers possibilities and try to chain them to the apple ecosystem. But this story is also a good story about karma, you reap what you sow. I am no one to judge people, Steve Jobs included... so I don't want to say he reaped what he sow. But the moral of the story is... do what is right, be nice to people... don't be selfish... and people will love you for it, just las much loved as Steve Wozniak is!
A common challenge with "the guru talks", is that we sublimely perceive these people in the bias of their accomplishments, rather than the other way around. Learning with focus on their nature. That being said, Steve Wozniak is one of those quiet innovators who inspired my engineering mindset, people approach and the creative process. It's worth to mention that every anvil deserves a hammer like Steve Jobs. Personally I think you can't have one without the other. Steve Wozniak, you're my hero!
The more I see of Steve the more I like him, he reminds me of when your a kid and you find something you're absolutely crazy and passionate about. I used to love computers when I was a kid, I was lucky enough my dad had gone through a bunch and kept them so I took all the best stuff out of them and built my own. Sorta fell by the wayside but after seeing the custom water cooled computers you can make now, and cheaply I'm in love with it again lol
The real brains behind Apple Computer..! Such a great Electronic Engineer.!! Long Live Steve.! UC Berkeley is a fantastic school. Lots of great minds.....
Best part .... 13:58 😂😂😂 Woz ...is truly a living legend .... He is my idole.....it's b'cz of his dream to having its own PC we all are able to make our dreams true.... Thank you Steve Wozniak...🤘👍
Wozniak is obviously a genius & good guy... it's sad to think how times have changed from his days in college though. how many of his pranks would land a kid in jail these days and potentially ruin his future. America has gotten way to uptight
Woz was the real hero behind Apple's early success. The genius engineer who design, built, and programmed the computer hardware that put the Apple I & Apple II on our desks at home. Yeah, the sales & marketing guy upstaged him at every turn and hogged the spotlight. But this is the big hearted genius that actually created something that Jobs could sell. Me, I'm much more impressed with engineering than sales & marketing. Sure, you need someone to sell, sell, sell in order to generate the cashflow needed to build a brand. But without brilliant engineering you've got nothing to demonstrate at the next computer show. Thanks Woz for the Apple II that jump started my lifelong computer career. Especially for insisting on all those beautiful expansion board slots. I used them all!
I just hope that more people are like people in the 80's and 90's. Friendly, compassionate, more or less hope to come in the world, leave the world a little bit better than we found it
He's wonderful :D Damn clever as well. I love hearing when people share what they could have kept for themselves. James Gandolfini was another guy who did that: he got paid much more than other cast members, (not sure which show) so he shared out the difference. That touches me, and I appreciate not only that type of person, but their view of the world.
He is one of my favorite people - he is the antithesis to Jobs! He is sweet, kind, nerdy and altruistic. Imagine how much of a better place the world could be if Apple, one of the largest, wealthiest and most influential entities in the world, had been guided by the values of THIS Steve instead!
Tobias Henriksen That’s a thought! Maybe Apple wouldn’t be the mega company it is now, but they would make really really remarkable computers and smartphones and amazing inventions... useful and fun things. Wozniak wouldn’t be pushing a new iPhone every year through the world’s throat... Apple would be a very discreet affair only for a few happy followers... and Keynotes would be like this!
They'd probably be nothing what they became. Jobs had a lot to offer. It's not just the technical side to make these things work; there's a lot to choosing what to put in, what to prioritize in the usability, and how to make it work economically.
I am watching this video again after many years. It just reminded me why I loved Woz so much. It's like he has figured life out! Woz is such an honest, kind and just an overall fun person! I loved his autobiography. To anyone here who still hasn't read it: you HAVE to read it. That book changed my life for the good.
The Hidden Soldier behind the true success of Apple! They should do a movie about this man's life.. If he was the face of Apple, i would've actually got an Iphone, simply for his energy, simplicity, honesty, and support of his teammates.
Wozniak's idea of helping others was self motivated, and is to be applauded ... this should never be confused with the government forcing others to do the same. Wozniak's generosity was discretionary, and leads to spiritual joy. Forced generosity, also called "redistribution of wealth", leads down a very dark path to eventual destruction.
Ha...I grew up in Berkeley and I remember when Steve Jobs finally graduated under the alias. I read a newspaper article about it at the time. I know all the places he talked about in his talk. Some of them are still there (except the phone booths, of course ;) ). Don't forget Steve is the one who put on the US Festival in 1982 which was a huge outdoor concert with all of the best bands of the day. He lost money so he pretty much did it for the same altruistic reasons that he helped the other people who worked at apple.
Steve Jobs & Woz are 2 sides of the same coin. One was the creator the other the visionary, neither one could I ever get sick of listening to. Great talk here, hilarious pranks lol.
The best video on RUclips ever, period... so many good life lessons if you listen carefully 👍👍 and I don't own any Apple product aside from iPhone 3S :-) because of their cheeky disposable design practices 🙄
You could play defender so well to the point of wrapping around the wave counter? That game is so impossible to play, like the successor Robotron 2084. Interesting, after the first computer using the processor 6502, a strictly 8 bit processor, the second was using the Motorola 68k, 16 bit/32 bit which was more powerful than the 6809 used in Defender and Robotron. Williams adopted the TMS34010, a strange processor which addresses any memory using bit value instead of byte (8 bit, word (16 bit) or other multiple.

Keep in mind, however, that it's his humble and gentile heart that is the reason why he didn't stay in Apple. But that's fine. He's still Woz.

Without Wozniak's technical expertise and support there would have never been Apple and Steve Jobs would have possibly ended as a visionary lunatic frying at McDo or selling insurance on the phone.
I bet he could've figured out how to fit a headphone jack on the new iPhone.
Withous Woz there would be no Apple and Jobs (who just preyed on Steve, his talent, and geniune frienship) would have no money and no fame.
Jobs had an amazing friend...
Really
And, in the early days, took huge advantage of him. Woz always had the right ideas in mind and it seems Steve always had his fame in mind.

You are totally right.

Woz is like that great, kind uncle that you'd always want to hang around with during the weekends, telling all those stories.
A big salute to Woz.
I love Woz so much. Jobs made tons more money but Woz won in life. The guy just loves life and life loves him. He has no filter.
Steve Wozniak has been awarded an Honorary Doctor of Engineering Degree by various universities for his contributions to technology.
You can tell from every time you see him talking that he is a decent kind man.
Agreed! My thoughts exactly.
By all accounts, he is exactly that.
Just 15 seconds into the video and I liked it the moment he said he was feeling nervous on stage..what a genuine guy _/\_
