Woz gives props to Jobs: Apple makes technology for humans
Apple co-founder
Steve Wozniak gave high praise to his old friend Steve Jobs for technology leadership. Interviewed at the 8th annual CRN Industry Hall of Fame Event in Mountain View, CA, Wozniak praised Apple for being the best at developing technology that "fits how a human being is and thinks," moreso than at any other company in the world.
Wozniak said Apple "leads the way over PCs" because of the company's innovations in technology. He cited technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth, and the iPod and their tight integration with the personal computer as evidence of Apple as a technological pioneer. He also notes the intuitive ease of use of Apple software as part of the reason Macs are more
"humanistic computers" than anything else on the market. Perhaps this explains my incessant need to anthropomorphize my Mac!
The Apple co-founder summarized his sentiments in saying that Apple is the best at innovating technology "that feels special, that feels like you are a special person when you use it." There you go, folks – license to feel pretty special every time you use your Mac.
