Steve Wozniak Zitate

Stephan „Steve“ Gary Wozniak, auch bekannt als „The Woz“ ist ein US-amerikanischer Computeringenieur und freier Unternehmer. Er war ein prominentes Mitglied des Homebrew Computer Clubs, der als „Schmelztiegel für eine ganze Branche“ bezeichnet wurde und aus dem zahlreiche Computerunternehmen entsprungen sind – unter anderem Apple, das Wozniak und sein Freund Steve Jobs 1976 mit Ron Wayne gründeten.

Der Journalist Steven Levy beschreibt in seinem Buch Hackers – Heroes of the Computer Revolution Wozniak als genialen Computer-Hacker, der sich für die Idee eines persönlichen Computers begeistern konnte; eine Idee, die von der in den 1970er Jahren vorherrschenden Industrie als absurd abgetan wurde. Zusammen mit anderen Hackern aus dem Homebrew Computer Club war er an der Entwicklung des persönlichen Computers maßgeblich beteiligt. Er entwickelte den Apple I, den ersten in Serie hergestellten und für Privathaushalte erschwinglichen persönlichen Computer, der als Eingabeeinheit eine schreibmaschinenähnliche Tastatur verwendete und als Ausgabeeinheit einen Bildschirm nutzte . Zusammen mit dem Nachfolgemodell Apple II sind dies die letzten in Serie hergestellten Computer, die von einer einzelnen Person entworfen wurden.Er erfand das Computerspiel Breakout.

Bloomberg Business interview (2014)

“The transition to a GUI, and eventually to one close to a Macintosh, was a far greater step than refinements since. Some of these are just simple alternatives, which can't be over-valued due to increasing the complexity of having less consistency in how things are done. Others of these are more akin to rearranging the furniture. The great change was in becoming a modern GUI machine. In that sense, virtually every machine is a 'Macintosh' now.”

“Soldering things together, putting the chips together, designing them, drawing them on drafting tables — it was so much a passion in my life. And to this day, I'll go stay at the bottom of the org chart being an engineer, because that's where I want to be.”

“Creative things have to sell to get acknowledged as such. Steve Jobs didn't really set the direction of my Apple I and Apple II designs but he did the more important part of turning them into a product that would change the world. I don't deny that.”

“I also like to ride Segways. How much fun that is! Anybody think that's fun? I hope so… There's an awful lot of people in the world that sneer at Segways because other people are having fun. There must be something bad about it. But I always tell people, that hey, these Segways are so environmentally conscious. I carry four of them in the trunk of my Hummer.”

“I'm surprised at the extent of the bigotry. But it really plays out when companies or schools take a side and prohibit the other platform at all. We Mac users should be good even when the other side is bad. We should do what we can to accept the other platforms. All the best people in life seem to like LINUX.”

“I never lie, even to this day. Not even a little. Unless you count playing pranks on people, which I don't. That's comedy. Entertainment doesn't count. A joke is different from a lie, even if the difference is kind of subtle.”
