More quotes by Steve Wozniak
Steve Jobs made the case to Xerox PARC execs directly that they had great technology but that Apple knew how to make it affordable enough to change the world. This was very open. In the end, Xerox got a large block of Apple stock for sharing the technology. That's not stealing outright.
Steve Wozniak
I think that the anti-Microsoft sentiment is simply due to their having been so successful selling a lot of crap.
Steve Wozniak
I have such a crowded life and crowded schedule. When people send me a link with a gadget, I'll look at it and buy it if it looks interesting, but I don't have time to check out everything I'd like to.
Steve Wozniak
A lot of things seem to be worth almost no money. but if you do them very well, and they help people fill a need, there's a great business you can build around that.
Steve Wozniak
You should stay closely connected to the technology when you start your company.

When we first started with Apple computers, it was my dream that everyone would learn to program, and that was how they'd use their computer.
Steve Wozniak
I had a TV set and a typewriter and that made me think a computer should be laid out like a typewriter with a video screen.
Steve Wozniak
My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers.
Steve Wozniak
I do not like to talk about the future. I don't like to be one of those people. It's so easy to have a very vague idea and say, oh, computers will be 3D-ish and then 10 years later I'll say I predicted it 10 years ahead. I don't think that's honest and I don't think that's valid and worth anything.
Steve Wozniak
I just was non-political and didn't see myself as a person who could push people around, make their decision, you know, and tell them how lousy their work was.
Steve Wozniak
My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.
Steve Wozniak
I'm also a fan with sticking with the most standard software that millions of other users also use, because you get the benefit of all those other users' problems and solutions.
Steve Wozniak
Like people including Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk have predicted, I agree that the future is scary and very bad for people. If we build these devices to take care of everything for us, eventually they'll think faster than us and they'll get rid of the slow humans to run companies more efficiently.
Steve Wozniak
I wanted to be a fifth grade teacher because my teacher was so important to me and was giving me the education that was going to take me through life and through this world.
Steve Wozniak
In the end, I hope there's a little note somewhere that says I designed a good computer.
Steve Wozniak
I have always respected education, which is why I actually went back secretly and taught school for eight years.
Steve Wozniak
You have to seek the simplest implementation of a problem solution in order to know when you've reached your limit in that regard. Then it's easy to make tradeoffs, to back off a little, for performance reasons. You can simplify and simplify and simplify yet still find other incredible ways to simplify further.
Steve Wozniak
It's a lot easier to think of an app and write it than it is to convince people to want it.
Steve Wozniak
Don't worry that you can't seem to come up with sure billion dollar winners at first. Just do projects for yourself for fun. You'll get better and better.
Steve Wozniak
I worked with such concentration and focus and I had hundreds of obscure engineering or programming things in my head. I was just real exceptional in that way
