Steve Jobs would be very proud of Apple: Wozniak

IANS  |  San Francisco 

Had been alive he would have been very proud of and its focus on putting people above technology, has said.

"I believe that he (Jobs) would be very happy with the company today as its concern more with end users and putting people above technology. Steve always acted that way.

Apple is focusing on innovations that "literally affect everything we do all the time in life," he added.

According to him, various phones can make you smile and take a picture but those are "fun features, not innovation".

"The users should be more important than the technology itself. You should not be a victim of the technology and what it can do. You should get to live your human life in the most human way possible," Wozniak said.

"Every other phone company had to come along and copy Apple," he added.

On Tesla, Wozniak said the company makes so many mistakes.

"It really convinces me that auto piloting and driving itself is not going to happen," added Wozniak, who himself drives a car.

In February when Wozniak visited India, he spoke about what prompted him to co-found Apple with and how the grew over the years.

"One thing I've found in my life is that it doesn't matter what you know as long as you want to do things," he said, adding, "If you want to start a company, you should not just have an idea on a piece of paper. You should have a working model, a business plan."

He told the gathering at the ET Global Business Summit he knew for five years before Apple.

"He didn't know anything about insides of a computer, he wasn't an but he knew how to look at products. Steve wanted to live a zero money life, he was more of a true hippie," he said.

According to "The Woz", Jobs was good in learning everything about the company and he was good in engineering.
