I had much more money than you ever need in your life to live on. So I was giving computer labs to school districts. I was - but then I decided you should really give yourself.

More quotes by Steve Wozniak
I wanted to be an elementary school teacher my whole life.
Steve Wozniak
All of a sudden, we've lost a lot of control,' he said. 'We can't turn off our internet we can't turn off our smartphones we can't turn off our computers. You used to ask a smart person a question. Now, who do you ask? It starts with g-o, and it's not God.
Steve Wozniak
Young children were always so important to me. Adults should treat children with more respect. We should put more monies in our schools. I grew up on that side of the coin.
Steve Wozniak
Well, I have many models of Prius that got recalled, but I have a new model that didn't get recalled. This new model has an accelerator that goes wild, but only under certain conditions of cruise control. And I can repeat it over and over and over again--safely.
Steve Wozniak
I was born to teach. I have always had this gift with children.
Steve Wozniak
I really believe I know why my designs were better than any other human being, but I don't want to take credit for starting Apple, for turning the world around or anything like that.
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
Everything we did we were setting the tone for the world.
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
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
My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers.
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 think everything I have done in my life, my reasons at the time were right no matter how things worked out.
Steve Wozniak
I am the person I want to be. I got to teach and had some of the greatest times in my life learning that I had some teaching skills and doing some incredible things teaching 200 hours of computers a year to fifth graders, making them experts at certain things.
Steve Wozniak
Some great people are leaders and others are more lucky, in the right place at the right time. I'd put myself in the latter category. But I'd never call myself a normal designer of anything.
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
We truly could have used the later Jobs in earlier years at Apple, is what I feel.
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
Steve Wozniak
The best things that capture your imagination are ones you hadn't thought of before and that aren't talked about in the news all the time.
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.
