Apple co-Founder Reflects On Past. Chastise Press and Bloggers. Hopes for Smarter Teachers

Story posted on: August 21, 2008



This morning at the Intel Developer Forum, uber-geek Steve Wozniak is interviewed on-stage by Moira Gunn, host of Tech Nation and Bio Tech Nation on NPR (pictured). My take is that Wozniak will remain an engineer 'for life'.

The Apple co-founder reflected on his "geekness" (he probably has all the coolest gadgets ever made including several Segways!), his past (he went back to UC Berkeley under the name "Rocky Raccoon Clark" to finish his electrical engineering degree after a plane crash. Studying mostly psychology to look for any secondary effects after his accident. He then suffered amnesia), his father - a Lockheed engineer- and his experience as a volunteer computer science teacher.

Wozniak also bashed bloggers and the press, accusing them of inaccuracy (read plain old LIES) - like his supposed relationship with Kathy Griffin -, hypocrisy and negative attitudes.
