Steve Wozniak was born as Stephen Gary Wozniak in San Jose, California, to Margaret Elaine (Kern) and Jacob Francis "Jerry" Wozniak. He belongs to a mixed Polish, German, Irish and English ancestry. Unsplash Childhood & Early Life

Growing up in a booming technological centre did more good than harm to this technically-inclined kid who since young, found his true calling in electronics. As a kid, he indulged in making homemade devices like voltmeter, ham radio, calculator and games. Unsplash Childhood & Early Life

Despite being extremely bright and intelligent, routine schooling and rote learning bored him. Flunking from the University of Colorado, he gained admission at the University of California. Unsplash Childhood & Early Life

It was through a common friend that in 1971, he met Steve Jobs, who like him, hated school and shared a passion and obsession for electronics. He shared a great bond with Jobs, as both of them were fuelled by the same passion. Unsplash Career

The duo became friends while working together on a mainframe computer at Hewlett-Packard (HP). It was around this time Wozniak dropped out of the University of California. Unsplash Career

Meanwhile, the world of electronics witnessed an upsurge as the demand for personal computers started ticking off. Much of it was due to the development of microprocessor. Unsplash Career

Since he could not afford a computer on his own, he decided to build one. What eventually followed was the first generation of Apple computer, titled Apple I. Interestingly; he designed the hardware, circuit board designs, and operating system singlehandedly. Unsplash Career

Performance wise, the computer built by Wozniak could perform greater operations than the Altair present in the market. In the history of computing, Apple I became the first home computer to display a character on a TV screen. Unsplash Career

He is the co-founder of Apple Computers Inc and was solely responsible for the creation of Apple I and Apple II computers. He looked after the engineering bit in the company and became the sole inventor of the four patents, ‘Microcomputer for use with video display’, ‘Controller for magnetic disc, recorder, or the like’, ‘Apparatus for digitally controlling PAL color display’ and ‘Digitally-controlled color signal generation means for use with display’.
