All films are focused on Steve Jobs … how can you forget that iPod presentation or the beloved iPhone presentation? For me the two good things he has done in his (unfortunately) short life. However, if Steve Jobs was Apple's "Ying", we have another Steve who was "Yang" and that is Wozniak. Recently the good wizard, the nickname they are known for, is addicted to continuing to feature magazine covers and newspapers with increasing statements and actions. Let us introduce you to Steve Wozniak to meet the former Apple founder.
Where did Steve Wozniak come from?
Stephan Gary Wozniak, who was born in Sunnyvale, United States of America on August 11, 1950, is facing a real character, but the reality is we are not initially facing such an eccentric profile. Although an American citizen, her father was of Polish descent and mother of German descent, they ended up in America fleeing the war. From a young age he loved math and especially electronics, having a special love for radio (remember Dustin's good at Stranger Things?). Thus, the university and the exercises that Wozniak practiced were constantly growing, constantly interacting with computers, radios and consumer electronics.
It was his university term (1971) there a good friend introduced him to Steve Jobs, Apple's entrepreneurial mindset, and whether or not this is a good Jobs job for the University but has not shown interest in studying. They both made their first "pinitos" using Bluebox, an app made to use phone tones to trick a telephone company and make totally free calls. While Woz loved software and free technology, Jobs convinced him to sell Bluebox and that was his first commercial success.
Back in 1976 Wozniak he had seen his knowledge rewarded again started working at Hewlett-Packard (HP), that back then it was a good idea considering that both HP and IBM dominate the computer and print industry. It was here that Woz made his first computer, however, his contract with HP forced him to surrender all his ideas to the company. Surprisingly, HP refused to make a personal computer and that's when his friend Job started assuring him that selling it would be a good idea. By then Wozniak had left his studies.
Steve Jobs, my best friend, took my designs and turned them into products.
Such was the case in 1976 when Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple, However, the successful businesses that Job had announced in the four winds had the same feature: Wozniak was the engineer behind those products, a real imagination capable of making ideas come true. For years Apple's success remained constant, in fact the subsequent real releases like Apple III and Apple Lisa were released, while It was only Wozniak's products that kept the company going.
A strong "love hate" relationship with Job
Steve Wozniak has never talked negatively about Steve Jobs, but the fact is he hasn't done any good. Wozniak has declared itself a lover of free software and software that can be developed, quite the opposite of Jobs, which creates the impression of a closed environment that Apple has kept up to date.
When we started with Apple, Jobs didn't even know if there were any personal computers. He didn't really intend to bring this technology to the people, and he didn't care about the benefits that the public could offer, he only knew how to do things and sell them for a little more money.
Disputes between Jobs and Wozniak as to the price of the products, "Apple's true distortion & # 39; While Jobs worked as a permanent CEO, Wozniak was committed to working as one at Apple and settled on business matters, in fact he was not very ambitious.
An accident that changed everything
On February 7, 1981 Steve Wozniak and his girlfriend, Candi Clark had a plane crash. No one was seriously injured, but Wozniak lost his short-term memory and his recovery was far from over. That set him apart from Apple's board for those four years, and he did just that to tell Steve Jobs that he was leaving the company. Apple's head of thinking and craftsmanship were definitely gone in 1985. The deal is historic, a few months later Apple's board of directors caused Steve Jobs to quit his job and 12 years of bad results were done that nearly ended the company.
Ever since then Steve Wozniak has been dedicated to education and pain. He conducts regular interviews at the University and is committed to inspiring new generations. However, Steve Wozniak is still paying Apple subscriptions, earning about $ 50 a week. And that's it despite leaving the Apple alliance, Woz's good kept the bulk of the company's actions launched in 1976 and to produce an engine for a hundred million dollars.
How to know Wozniak in depth
Above all, he likes to leave out controversial statements such as "Apple lost the way" or "Coronavirus patient in the United States of America."
