It's interesting too how he keeps going on and on about how you can build computers to have fun while in vintage Steve Jobs interviews , he presents the Apple machines as serious tools. Just looking at the two personalities you can see they're so different.
I love how in interviews Wozniak talks like he's actually just talking to the guys he's with. You can tell there's no motivation for him to seem 'cool' or 'intelligent', just a guy letting people record him having a conversation with them. Never change, Wozniak.
i know steve jobs gets all the praise as a great speaker with great delivery. i prefer listening to steve wozniak. he's the kind of guy you listen to and converse with because when you talk to him about something he's passionate about he becomes so excited and interesting that you can't help but be riveted.
I. Love. This. Man. He has all the money in the world, and could really care less. Here I was getting pretty down in the mouth about my life/financial situation, and just realized he would be just as happy as he is now, if he had MY life, or yours. He is just a happy guy, and at the end of the day, that is all that _really_ matters. Have a great day everyone! :-)
Clear Adventure Money is so important, but it gives security, not happiness. I think following something that inspires or interests you, makes you feel happy. And having friends or family that you love. Health is everything. Be well.
Jose God willing, you find a way soon. Sometimes it's who you know, so maybe try interacting with some more people, or volunteering to meet new people. Best wishes to you.
AND he coded BreakOut/Arkanoid with 48 chips (and Pong with 30). ...Am I the only videogamer who just realized that PANG is also a "son of" Pong/Break Out? (Puzzle Bubble too, when you think about it)
How is this not 100 million hits? Unbelievable honesty. Woz is a still a breath of fresh air. Not arrogant, not drinking oolong tea of silicon valley. Incredible insight into current issues too.
Was thinking the same. He could engineer ME, and I'd probably be a better person. But I don't think he didn't even tried, maybe that is the one only thing he (kind of) sucks at... Game design, bummer ;_(
+jaredkidd1 He wasn't just a "public showman". Woz was an engineer, Steve was a visionary. They needed each other. Why is it that in order to praise Woz you have to downplay Jobs? They are both exceptional.
LOVE...HIM. I just love him. He has such a contagious positive disposition. I would love to meet him one day, invite him to dinner, and just share a meal while listening to all his pearls of wisdom. What a charming human being.
"But you know, after 27 years, you've seen all the groups, been to every concert." All that and his eyes still glued to the Game Boy, even whilst saying it.
One of the must amazing interviews I have watch in my life , I so glad to have internet ! I had never watch this interview here in Brazil without internet . Dear god , thank you so much !
How I would love to meet this amazing guy. I have so many questions. His Apple 2 computer changed everything. I love older technology, I still have DVDs, even VHSs.
Woz clearly demonstrates what a true genius is: when you take what you know and create something totally new that hasnt been done before. Then what follows is that others try to emulate. just brilliant. I would love to meet this man.
7:25 Damn if i was friends with Steve Jobs back then and i'd made that Pong machine and I'd found out that he'd took my work and used it to get a Job at Atari ......... I'd be Pissed!
+jaredkidd1 That'd be the end of our friendship if it was me, but Wozniak is such a nice, almost push-over type of person that he seems he'd forgive you for almost anything. Jobs was incredibly lucky to know him. That was his ticket to success.
29:40 My friends and I made hundreds of games outside when we were kids, they always combined multiple sports, and they always had the most obvious name. 1 game was simply dodging shoes on a trampoline, the shoe game. 1 was a trampoline game that was 2(or 3) on 2(or 3) game where you had to slap a ball into the other teams net, the ball game. 1 was football on a baseball field with endzones at the foulines in the outfield so you could potentially throw touchdown passes every throw by throwing it across the infield, curve ball. 1 was catch the most leaves that fell from the trees within a certain amount of time, leaf game. 1 was tying our wrists together with masking tape and being the first 1 to escape only using the objects in the room, tape game. 1 was 2 guys walking down the street on opposite sides with a basketball and seeing how long you could walk while throwing around the back passes to each other, around the back game. 1 was shooting crayons at each other with a rubber band as we walked past our friends classrooms, search and destroy game(lol).
For a guy who grew up shy and nervous in public man he is an elite storyteller and interesting person to listen too. Maybe top 5 of all time in my book of fascinating speakers ….most people I listen to for about 5 minutes and my mind starts drifting but with Steve he’s grabs your attention for the full hour
I was there in the classic era of arcade games 1980-1983 and the engineer that brought 'Breakout' into Sunspot arcade in Hull told me to play this new game as it's going to be great.I asked him to stick me some free credits on which he did and I played it and was instantly addicted.The game was black and white and top of the screen had plastic coloured strips to give red yellow green to layers of the bricks.Brilliant is made me and made other kids very very happy at that time.
This guy is just absurdly awesome. If I've had a friend like him in my life I would've been daily inspired to become a great Engineer no matter what lol Epic Woz!
Great video. I also really enjoyed the videos from E3 with a couple devs just sitting and chatting. I would love to see more of these kind of interviews on the site. Keep up the good work guys, appreciate it.
I wish someone like Steve W or Steve J would get involved in the modern aaa gaming industry and the tech we use. Their brain power could evolve gaming rapidly and give us the games we have yet to even dream up
proud of the fact that my generation told the adults NO, we can grow older and not grow up and have fun while we do it. games are forever, Woz gets that.
Wozniak really doesn't get the huge credit that he deserves in popular knowledge about Apple, I think it's quite obvious he is the most brilliant computer engineer of his generation
engineers know who gets all the credit. its Woz. But at the same time, without jobs the apple II would've stayed a clever circuitboard concept that never reached the masses.
I love that most people just talk out of their ass, but Wozniak is actually a revolutionary genius. He’s seriously the only guy I can just sit here and listen to his stories and actually believe them to be 100% true.
never knew how much me and woz has in common to be honest, like my approach is always do it with the least amount of functions or parts as possible, but with the most capability, for now i only do this in software but thats because i dont have the cash required to start building my computer.
At 5.35 Steve says "I had a friend who worked at the Stanford artificial intelligence centre " - he means the Stanford Linear Accelerator Centre (SLAC).
I love this guy. He is powered by curiosity and excitement, by then he's thrilled by things that make him laugh. I think he's a joy, and a ray of sunshine. I think it takes a special type of person to still have the enthusiasm of a young person, as they get older. Making a game, then getting free pizza because you got the high score! hahahaha.... not world domination or millions of dollars..... beating a system and winning something hahaha I love him :D
I've always wanted to know why Jobs never focused heavily on games till around the new millennium. There was that huge cheer when they released chess on one of his unveilings. He worked at Atari so I'm sure he knew that there was a market. Did he not want them to be viewed as a kid's toy or something? Seems like he was a huge part of the reason Japan was so dominant compared to the Western World during the 80s. Then Wolfenstein-Doom hit along with Myst and soon afterwards Windows '95 and they along with many other things laid the foundations of what would become the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. I was very young at the time but I remember that those three games made you want to go over to a friend's house that had a current computer, where prior it had always been consoles.
This guy broke the code on how to stay in his youth. You have to love him, he has preserved his inner child. Could listen for hours.
To love love life and be passionate isn't limited by age.
To love love life and be passionate isn't limited by age.
To love life and be passionate shouldn't be limited by age.
Matt Stevens exaclty. people are too focused on becoming an adult and blah blah blah
It's interesting too how he keeps going on and on about how you can build computers to have fun while in vintage Steve Jobs interviews , he presents the Apple machines as serious tools. Just looking at the two personalities you can see they're so different.
"It's not about how successful you are or how many yachts you own, it's about how much you smile" That is why Steve Wozniak is the man
I love how in interviews Wozniak talks like he's actually just talking to the guys he's with. You can tell there's no motivation for him to seem 'cool' or 'intelligent', just a guy letting people record him having a conversation with them.
Never change, Wozniak.
When he was saying “I was the greatest designer ever” I thought: I love this guy! Tell it like it is, Steve! Because you are!
his secret sauce is his vibrant brain that gives him a great deal of attention span
i know steve jobs gets all the praise as a great speaker with great delivery. i prefer listening to steve wozniak. he's the kind of guy you listen to and converse with because when you talk to him about something he's passionate about he becomes so excited and interesting that you can't help but be riveted.

***** And yet he is in a cheap hotel playing a gameboy...I think the 100 mill will last him a while. ;-)

I REALLY want Woz to become an indie game developer.... Could you just IMAGINE the possibilities!
Was thinking the same. He could engineer ME, and I'd probably be a better person. But I don't think he didn't even tried, maybe that is the one only thing he (kind of) sucks at... Game design, bummer ;_(
the true genuis behind Apple
+illuminati Is Woz illuminati?
+illuminati for sure man but woz wouldn't have changed the world like he did with out Steve.
+TipsyPistole So am i right in saying that Woz is the Trues brain behind the machine but he needed Steve jobs to be the Public showman?
yes, you could phrase it like that.
+jaredkidd1 He wasn't just a "public showman". Woz was an engineer, Steve was a visionary. They needed each other. Why is it that in order to praise Woz you have to downplay Jobs? They are both exceptional.

I had never watch this interview here in Brazil without internet .
Dear god , thank you so much !
Glad you found it!

Steve Wozniak is kind of man you would listen non-stop for days, weeks even months.
I can listen to this guy forever :D
I need to meet you Woz, I look up too you and Steve so much! Im only 16 and I want to change the world just like you and Steve did!
This guy is my hero, a true inspiration to this world.
One of mankinds finest.
What a lovely guy...Wozniak was the genius behind Apple - Jobs was the Salesman...All-be-it a smart one.
Man, I understand none of it but I can't stop listening to him, this guy is a treasure!
I love Woz. He's a great person.
I emailed Woz. He responded. Unfortunately he's too busy to keep a conversation going.
How did You contacted him? Please tell me!
How I would love to meet this amazing guy. I have so many questions. His Apple 2 computer changed everything. I love older technology, I still have DVDs, even VHSs.
oh how i love every single interview of this guy!!!
Woz says some incredibly profound things very casually :)
Woz clearly demonstrates what a true genius is: when you take what you know and create something totally new that hasnt been done before. Then what follows is that others try to emulate. just brilliant. I would love to meet this man.
Words can't describe how much I respect this man.

Jobs was a kid. He did use Woz, but he didn't diminish Woz in any way. In fact without Jobs, Woz would be unknown.
@@ejmac11 Jobs stole a thousand $$ but in the end Woz got multi-millions out of it for life.
WOZ seems like such a great down to earth guy!
Woz: Still my hero and one of the most influential people in my life/career. (Ongoing thanks to you sir.) Love this interview, thank you!

Woz is such a great guy. He did it all for fun or for education.
I was there in the classic era of arcade games 1980-1983 and the engineer that brought 'Breakout' into Sunspot arcade in Hull told me to play this new game as it's going to be great.I asked him to stick me some free credits on which he did and I played it and was instantly addicted.The game was black and white and top of the screen had plastic coloured strips to give red yellow green to layers of the bricks.Brilliant is made me and made other kids very very happy at that time.
Steve Wozniak is a very bright person. He really enlightens and encourages to be positive and productive
woz seems a much nicer person than jobs
now is HIS time to shine
Woz>Jobs
Why even think about that?
Different talents... If Jobs didn't saw "that thing" would change the world, probably Woz wouldn't came off the garage...
LOL @ 23:04 when his smile disappears at yet another mention of Steve Jobs.
It's not funny it kind of shows how Jobs is a false hero.
Woz said he admired Jobs. He's probably tired of people asking these probing questions that no one knows except Jobs.
the Great and Powerful WOZ!
the BBT?
This guy is just absurdly awesome. If I've had a friend like him in my life I would've been daily inspired to become a great Engineer no matter what lol
Epic Woz!
Such a good story teller, I could listen to Woz spin yarns for hours.
He would be an amazing father.
Great video. I also really enjoyed the videos from E3 with a couple devs just sitting and chatting. I would love to see more of these kind of interviews on the site. Keep up the good work guys, appreciate it.
Watching / listening to Steve Wozniak makes me smile..
Byron Micke yes sir, indeed
What a smart guy. Exciting times.
I love listening to this man. What a guy
It's such a pleasure to listen to Woz!!
as someone who is part of the Linux community the Linux community would welcome you with open arms Woz.
Thank you Woz.
That's why I admire Woz so much! Nice & brilliant :)
Needed to watch this.
He's wearing the ridiculous watch featured in the Steve Jobs Aaron Sorkin movie.
Life is about happiness. Amen Woz. Love this guy.
I wish someone like Steve W or Steve J would get involved in the modern aaa gaming industry and the tech we use. Their brain power could evolve gaming rapidly and give us the games we have yet to even dream up
proud of the fact that my generation told the adults NO, we can grow older and not grow up and have fun while we do it. games are forever, Woz gets that.
this guy is my favorite. Steve jobs was just that guy we don't want to end up as
Great video Ben! That was such a cool interview to get randomly after seeing him in the airport
Got to love Woz!!!
Simple man. With a not so simple mind
What a humble man
The true Genius behind Apple, it would not have ever existed without him, Steve was just a great salesman.
i love this guy. i wish he was as universally famous as the= bros who dominate tech culture now. his curiosity and enthusiasm is so inspiring.
I wish I could enjoy his intelligence for a day
He is a truly fascinating man.
Wozniak really doesn't get the huge credit that he deserves in popular knowledge about Apple, I think it's quite obvious he is the most brilliant computer engineer of his generation
engineers know who gets all the credit. its Woz.
But at the same time, without jobs the apple II would've stayed a clever circuitboard concept that never reached the masses.
The shoulders that Steve Jobs stood on. Love Woz.
what i can see from woz is passion
Is it still an interview if you edit out the questions? Anyway, I really enjoyed that.
It is incredible to hear about the reality of his childhood compared to our childhood.
I think its funny how people say "gaming on mac is shit" when wozniak was the one that made gaming on a computer basically possible at all. xD
Woz is the best
I remember learning Applesoft on a "dying" Apple II clone. It was so much fun.
wow, watched the whole interview and I didn't feel the time go by.
Steve you are awesome, please don't change.
He is brilliant guy
Evets Kainzow thank you so much!
I love that most people just talk out of their ass, but Wozniak is actually a revolutionary genius.
He’s seriously the only guy I can just sit here and listen to his stories and actually believe them to be 100% true.
The pursuit of happiness could be destructive and hypocritical unless one knows the complete answer.
I really enjoy listening to this man
The flight game Woz is talking about at 35 minutes in is Sky Fox, by Ray Tobias.
never knew how much me and woz has in common to be honest, like my approach is always do it with the least amount of functions or parts as possible, but with the most capability, for now i only do this in software but thats because i dont have the cash required to start building my computer.
the thing I love about Steve Wozniak more than steve job is the legary that he came from.......
I have to wonder where Apple would be if he was in charge of it.
Apple would never have existe becouse he build the "reason" why apple got founded.
He's an Engineer, no Businessman. So he would never be in charge.
This is an example of a great interview.
At 5.35 Steve says "I had a friend who worked at the Stanford artificial intelligence centre " - he means the Stanford Linear Accelerator Centre (SLAC).
Best interview ever!!!
What a brilliant man and a human being as well! Strikes me as the opposite of Steve Jobs
I love this guy.
He is powered by curiosity and excitement, by then he's thrilled by things that make him laugh.
I think he's a joy, and a ray of sunshine.
I think it takes a special type of person to still have the enthusiasm of a young person, as they get older.
Making a game, then getting free pizza because you got the high score! hahahaha.... not world domination or millions of dollars..... beating a system and winning something hahaha
I love him :D
I work a shit job. My life is hard. But this guy rekindles my faith in humanity
He's such a great story teller
The godfather of pranksters. XD
What a beautiful mantra to design by 9:14
What a positive guy.
This fool warms my heart.
Love ya Woz
That was awesome.
If u had anything to do with the Atari 2600, you are my God. What a nice God to believe in!
