Steve Wozniak, during a Q&A at Civo's Navigate event, discussed his journey as a computing pioneer driven more by a desire for respect from peers than by ambition to start an industry. Reflecting on the evolution of technology since his early days, he criticized the current dominance of a few large companies. He expressed a passion for advancing bandwidth and photonics, while reminiscing about his early contributions to the web, noting his experiences with running reliable servers during a time of widespread computer failures.
Trying to make things with fewer chips wasn't for manufacturing. It was just trying to prove I'm clever.
I didn't want to start an industry or a company as much as I wanted engineers to look at my designs... and say, 'Woah... what a brilliant engineer.'
Everything in technology grows hugely, but now it's consolidated to basically a few main companies that control everything... and that bugs me.
I got in so early... I ran servers for well-known musicians, for companies, for people out of my own home on Macintoshes, and they never crashed.
