Wozniak Interviewed by the BCS

October 10th, 2007 by daniel

Steve Wozniak was interviewed by the British Computer Society, the interview is available here: https://www.bcs.org/server.php?show=ConWebDoc.14923

(Steve Wozniak is a co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs is the other one)

One thing I definitely do agree about is the career advice:

Try to know inside what your internal passion is. The thing you would do if you had no pay and no job. What would you do that makes you feel good inside? And that’s what you should do, you shouldn’t follow a formula from others saying this is the way you should go and this should be your career path.

One thing I also want to highlight is in the section about “geeks”:

I would say that it’s always been a bad thing. I don’t know if it’s the same in the UK

Being a geek in the UK is not as bad as being a geek in the USA. Cliques in the UK aren’t as strong, visible and irritating as they are in the USA - and so being a geek in the UK is not necessarily a bad thing. So if you are a geek in the UK then do not worry, if you are a non-geek in the USA then take it easy on the geeks.

Enjoy!
