An Evening with Steve Wozniak
Ғылым және технология
[Recorded Dec 10, 2002]
"Woz" serves up Apple Computer history in his own unique way. In this lecture and Q&A session, Steve provides a rational understanding of many of the innovations leading to early Apple designs. He looks at the early company structure, the personalities that influenced him, and personalities within the company. In addition, he discusses the reasons he wants to be an engineer for life but not a CEO. An entertaining, informative, and very personal view from one of the founders of a corporate and cultural icon.

He got used by Steve quite a bit. But probably everyone did. And they both made loads so it's all good.
It's fun to listen to an engaging character expounding on his passion. Woz is a nice man. I'd love to see him in person.
Fun days when younger for Steve, as with all of us! as you get older and responsibilities set in, the fun just goes away. You can tell he was in that not so sociable type crowd when he was younger,and you can see how wonderful of a guy he is when given a chance! Never judge a book by its cover! always give someone a chance! Thanks for the memories Steve Wozniak! What a gem amongst us all!
Laying out a board while listening to him is just perfect.
"Wherever there's smart people, they leave the door open." - Steve Wozniak.

LOL, what does that mean for me . I’m obsessive-compulsive about checking that I locked the doors
Woz is the inventor of the personal computer! He is amazing! As for Jobs he had the spiel that introduced it to the world! Great pair up but Woz is the genius.
Woz is a legend, kudos
you can tell this guy is passionate , so much so that it is contagious
Hah! Tom Swift Jr. books... those were the bomb! What couldn't Tom Swift build? How many future engineers was Victor Appleton (I & II) responsible for? Woz is truly inspirational, what a guy!
Surprised he pronounced Moog wrong. It’s pronounced MOHG. We built tv jammers in high school electronics. I made the smallest one by soldering all the parts to each other directly instead of using a PCB. I put it in a tiny ring case I found in my moms room. It was about 1”x1”x1”. Had a toggle switch and a power LED. It was pretty cool. I sold it to a kid for $10.00. Good times.
Woz starts talking at 11:25.
I love how he says how his early projects didn't work. Perseverance baby.
its very sad that his stories end when apple went corporate
Woz was ahead of his time: "move fast and break things" could have described his activities sometimes. He didn't want to break things, but when you're a kid, you don't always know you're breaking things.
Woz IS Apple
Just got a ham radio because of Woz
Very captivating!
Funny thing that... The Tom Swift Jr. books that Woz says he liked to read were written by Harriet Addams under the pseudonym Victor APPLEton II. Would that be where the company name came from?
thanks for this wonderful upload. it's hard to overstate the importance of this man and effect he's had on millions of lives. Woz is god. :)
Woz = a Genius.

Man, Wozniak is awesome!!!
He's like a GOD that knows what we want!

man i love this guy
I love you Woz
Wiz has to be the nicest classiest guy ever!
270p in 2022 ??! guys, PLEASE redo the tape and get us some higher def. thanks!
11:27 start
Best interview I've heard of Woz and how he designed the Apple 1 & II computers. Love how his description of building his super simple floppy drive controller. I remember adjusting the drive speed on an Apple IIe using the strobe disk on the drive pulley. Good times back in the old days. No internet, no viruses, little software available, but computers were all so fresh and new, with different vendors offering their latest and greatest every month it seemed.
I must read iWoz NOW!
Genius
now I know where the swift language name came from
why is the audio only coming out of the left channel i have to reconfigure my settings just to listen to this normally lol
brilliant!some people r just blessed!
Wozniak is the man
@Commodorian Your absolutely right. Peddle and his team were the real genius.
Seth & Woz were GREAT ! --Docent @ CHm
Where I come from we say "square root" not "square root". Still think your great Woz :)
What a contrast: the LOWEST tech for the video documenting one of the earliest highest tech guys. :)
Some interesting details about how a dedicated person, or a "nerd" if you will, persists along a path, makes mistakes and inventions and finally finds his way. It is worth comparing his travel to the one of some students of the 70s. Wozniak went from electronic components to a language interpreter and game design. More or less at the same time, some students came from language theories, discovered ahead-of-their-time computers (such as the Xerox Alto) then created new programming languages and new computer usages (such as gaming). I tend to think people such as Steve Wozniak helped a lot making computers affordable by taking advantage of new integrated circuits while other people brought modern programming techniques (portability, objects, concurrency, etc). It's like they came from two planets then mixed their work and produced modern computing. This video should be remasterized, improved in resolution, audio fixed then re-uploaded.
Wozzzzzzzzzzz ruuuuuuuuuules!!!!!!!!!!
Steve Jobs is a commercially smart fellow who knew exactly how to exploit the genius of his technically smarter friend. No point in debating who is greater. With out each of these smart guys, the closest association of the word “apple” to science and technology may be perhaps the story of that fruit causing a bump on Sir Issac Newton’s head. (Which is, BTW, just a story)
Lighten up. He is "chaotic good". If we did not have people like this there would be no progress. Rules and laws change because good people like this challenge them. Most of your little world was created by people like this. I'd say that's pretty good.
Great video, but I wish the sounds was better, I couldn’t make out most of it.
My left year enjoyed this
Is this video mono (left channel) or is my sound just not operating correctly?
Superb presentation. Shame this was recorded so poorly.
I could fix this footage is you like. It's a shame to loose the value of his talk because of audio
isn't the utube limit 10min..lol..very nice!!!!
at 1:14:0 who was that person?
Perfect
Psst, Steve starts talking at 11:23 : )

Thanks for that!
Woz! Please put your video pranks on KZread!!
Hey all
who is we?
11:32
Typical socialist vs capitalism debate. I'm with Woz in that its all about the journey and collaboration. The best products allow open source upgrades.
thid guy shud be richer than bill gates.
these videos are too long but interesting
Woz dont need no damn neck anyway
Audio and video are way out of sync. Forgivable for an amateur, but these guys are supposed to know what they're doing.
1:01:55 lol
@22ness0hayden Perhaps, but it's as if I was saying that without Chuck Peddle from MOS/Commodore (who developed the affordable 6502), Apple wouldn't have been Apple. Besides, Peddle and his team were also real genius, but they didn't have a Steve Job with them. Woz was doing it only for fun! Jobs created the name and made a real business out of it. So my point is, Apple would've existed without Jobs but could have most likely existed without Woz. But we'll never know don't we.
The introduction before Woz is waaay too long.
Really? That's all you got out of this? Great things are created and done by rebels. Thank God there was not a concept of politically correct weinership at this time in history!
Wozniak was a freak, no doubt about it. But as good as he was, there were thousands as brighter as him. He must/should wake up each night to thank Steve Jobs for making things happen. Today, I think we can say Apple could have been born without Wozniak or be anybody else in his place. We can't say the same for Steve Jobs. He was Apple, he is Apple. Jobs had the tougher 'job'. There are hundreds of great products out there but there are only a few who can market and sell it right.
