This is where it all started when Steve Wozniak became fascinated with electronics. He was born August 11, 1950 and raised in San Jose, California. Steve Wozniak is pictured here with his family, his mother Margaret Wozniak, sister Leslie Wozniak, and his brother Mark Wozniak.
After Steve Wozniak graduated high school he got accepted into the University of California, Berkeley to major in computer science. He ended up postponing getting his degree to take on a job a Hewlett-Packard.
When Steve Wozniak went to work for Hewlett-Packard, he tried to convince them that he could help them create a desk top computer that would only cost the customer $800. After passing around quite

The next computer to take on Apple is the Apple II. It wasn 't shortly after the Apple II was created both Wozniak and Jobs left Apple.
Before leaving Apple, Steve Wozniak decided to fly a plane with his fiancé, her brother and his girlfriend. The plane actually crashed when taking off because it stalled, which then caused it to bounced down the runway through fences and into an embarkment. Everyone that was on the plane did sustain injuries. Wozniak 's injuries were so severe he came down with amnesia. This caused him to not remember the crash, being in the hospital or anything after that.
After leave Apple in 1987, Steve Wozniak began a company called CL9. Here he created the very first universal remote control. Wozniak kept this company running for three years, until everything became more technical.
Steve Wozniak is not just a genius who created two computers that changed the world. He performed on dancing with the stars season 8 in 2009. While performing he pulled his hamstring and fractured his foot. Even though Wozniak and his partner didn 't win dancing with the stars, they both had the time of their lives.
For all the dedication that Steve Wozniak had in his career with designing two helpful computers, to then creating the first universal remote control. San Jose, California has took it into their own hands to honor Steve Wozniak himself by naming a street in
Steve Wozniak was the kind of person who liked to tell jokes and pull pranks at the schools he attended. During high school, he decided he wanted to become an engineer. He graduated with honors from Homestead High School, California in 1968. He tried to convince his family to send him to Colorado University for the engineering program, but his family encouraged him to go to a nearby community college in California instead. After going to the community college to register for classes, he found out that the calculus, physics, and chemistry classes he wanted to attend were all full. So Steve went back to his parents to tell them the news, and they agreed to send him to Colorado University for his first year of college. He was not a
Steve Wozniak was born on August 11, 1950 in San Jose California. His parents are Margaret Louise Wozniak and Francis Jacob Wozniak. As a child he loved technology and playing with it. In Elementary school, High school, and Middle school Wozniak loved making science fair projects. Steve Wozniak had a very good childhood.
Steve Wozniak - Jobs ' partner and main computer builder and programmer of the early Apple I and
Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco, California on February 24, 1955 Steve Jobs was an orphan until Paul and Clara Jobs adopted Steve when he was a kid. When Steve was growing up he was surrounded by engineers. In his neighborhood everyone around him were engineers. When he was thirteen years old he met one of the most important people in his life. That person’s name was Stephen Wozniak a wiz kid from the area. Steve attended Homestead High School. When Steve was in high school he and Stephen Wozniak pulled many pranks. One incident was they put a middle finger statue on one of the buildings in the high school. Chris-Ann Brennan was his high school sweetheart. When Jobs was eighteen years old he was getting near his college days and he told his parents he wanted to go to Reed College. It was a very expensive college located in Oregon. Steve Jobs parents promised him a college education no matter what. While Steve was in Reed College he began to get interested in Eastern mysticism. Steve Jobs only spent
He was born on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco, California. After high school Job’s would go on to college. After six months, he would drop out of school. Steve would go on and take classes learning about technology and discover his passion in this field. Wozniak and Steve are known for revolutionizing the computer industry and making technology smaller and cheaper for everyday easy access. In 1985, while Jobs was being pushed away from the Apple company which he was a co-founder of he would later make a company called NEXT incorporation. And the following year Steve would then purchase an animation company that is now known at Pixar Studios. Pixar would go on and make many great animation movies, soon Walt Disney and Steve would join forces and Steve Jobs would be known as the biggest shareholder for
Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco to Joanne Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali who that time was graduate students from the University of Wisconsin.However, they left Steve up for adoption and was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs.As a boy, Steve would work with his father which was a machinist.In his garage, Paul showed Steve how to take apart and reconstruct electronics, which lead Steve to develop a hobby in electronics.After elementary school, he enrolled at the Homestead
and intelligent young man. Later, in high school he met a man by the name of Steve Wozniak
Steve was born in San Francisco, California on February 24,1955 (Steve Jobs Biography). He was put up for adoption. His original parents were not married. Joanne Schieble and Abdulfatlah Jandali were the names of his biological parents (Steve Jobs Biography). They were both students of the University of Wisconsin (Pilar). His adopted parents were Clara and Paul Jobs (Steve Jobs Biography). They lived in Mountain View, California, later known as Silicon Valley. When Jobs was a kid, he liked to work with his dad with electronics in the family garage (Steve Jobs Biography). Jobs attended Homestead High School in Cupertino, California (Spicer). He then met Steve Wozniak, another co-founder of Apple. Jobs graduated high school in 1972 (Spicer). After graduating from high school, he enrolled in Reed College ("Steve Jobs: An Extraordinary Career”). Unlike most people, Steve dropped out of college after
Steve Jobs invented the 1st PC. Steve Jobs started his electronic career by building a blue box which made free long distance calls. Steve and Stephen made a product that supports making long distance calls for no charge, and was sold to people like at college dorms. This was also illegal, but it was popular among college and high school students. They made several thousand dollars, and started Apple. How the invention came to be was when “He met Stephen Wozniak (1950- ), an engineering whiz kid. Wozniak was in the process of developing his “blue box,” an illegal device that allowed a user to make free long distance calls. Jobs helped Wozniak |develop| his device, forging a partnership that would, several years later, change the face of the home-computer industry. (Steve Jobs 1).” This product was a huge success for them both, because it gave them the courage to start Apple. He invented the Apple 1 which he made in his parents garage. He and Stephen Wozniak designed the Apple 1 with a motherboard, microprocessor, and some memory cards. This was not as popular as Apple computers are today, but it sold a lot for the 1st product. Their 2nd Big invention made together was “|Designed| by jobs, Wozniak devised a crude but relatively powerful circuit board (a sheet of insulating material that carries electrical circuit elements and terminals) with a $25 microprocessor and a few memory chips (small wafers of semiconductor material that store |info| for later retrieval) (Steven Jobs 2 #2).”This invention started the computer science era of America. Steve Jobs early inventions are known to be the greatest inventions of the computer
Berkeley. "Famous White-Hat Hackers | Investopedia." states that Steve Wozniak was born in San Jose, California, in 1950. And received a B.S. in electrical engineering and computer science from UC Berkeley. Wozniak or “Woz” as his friends called him built his first computer when he was 13 years old and was an electronics prodigy by the time he was 19. He met steve jobs when he was 14 and together their first project built a “blue box” which works just like a “black box”.(“Steve Wozniak”). Jobs and Wozniak used this “Blue Box” to hack into public telephones and make toll free calls. The next large project that really led the duo to explode in fame was the production of the Apple 1 or known as the kit computer. According to "Wozniak, Stephen." Gale Encyclopedia of E-Commerce. (2002), this computer was built out of the garage of Steve Jobs’ mother and was the location of the business for a large amount of time. Steve Wozniak still is an Apple employee but is not active and receives a stipend of $120,000
Born in San Francisco in February 1955 to two unmarried graduate students, Steve was put up for adoption within a week of his birth. He was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs, who soon after moved to Mountain View, California, a rural town Silicon Valley.
In 1981, Steve Wozniak was injured in a place crash and gradually reduced his involvement in the company. Later that year, Steve Jobs became Chief Executive Officer and
Not long after that did he was introduced to his future partner in business Steve Wozniak through a friend.
Jobs and Wozniak are credited with revolutionizing the computer industry by democratizing the technology and making the machines smaller, cheaper, intuitive and accessible to everyday consumers.
Steve Wozniak was born in 1950 in San Jose, California. Woz grew up in Sunnyvale, California and always enjoyed electronics as a kid, even making computer like projects in the fifth grade. Wozniak became interested in electronics after he read a book about HAM radios. He built his own radio and never stopped building his own electronics. He had friends on the street who were also interested in electronics and they created wired house-to-house- intercoms to communicate with each other in throughout middle and high school. During middle and high school, Woz won multiple awards in science fairs and for mathematics. After graduating high school, he attended the University of Colorado for a short period of time before returning home to study at
