6/25/2023 0 Comments IWoz by Steve Wozniak![]() ![]() I would recommend it for computer engineers, techies or high school students who may be looking at their options in life. I found the book interesting, but not overly inspirational, but then I’m not a fan of autobiographies. Apple and Wozniak, the inventor of the Apple I and II, ignited the computer revolution and have been transforming our world ever since. He also seems to have written this book as inspiration for young people who may wish to become inventors. ![]() Woz says he wrote the book to set the record straight on several statements that appear in the press or other published books. The book is partially about Apple Computers, but I would not call this a business book. Wozniak went on to become what many claim to be “the inventor” of the personal computer.Īs Yeats said, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”Īfter reading the book, I find that it is a personal account of how Woz learned about computers, electronics and engineering. One or two teachers, as well as his father, provided the right amount of encouragement at the right time. The other reviews of the book are quite mixed but what I’ve found interesting about his early years is the importance of positive reinforcement and the key roles of a few people at critical times. It’s not my usual reading, but he will be at our local university in two weeks, as part of the Wilford Jonah Lecture Series. Wozniak was the co-founder of Apple Computers and is an engineer by profession. I’m currently reading Steve Wozniak’s autobiography, iWoz. Posted filed under Books, Learning, Technology. ![]()
