“The paradigm of education has to change a lot. important thing is to have teachers who care about students, so they do not fail,” he believes. Technology in the classroom is very important for the creator of one of the first personal computers in history, but can not match the human factor: “A computer can not replace a teacher.”
Wozniak, also affectionately known on the Internet as The Wizard of Woz , envisions a future in which technology will be integrated more naturally in life: “It will be closer and closer to the yet people will become more invisible. ” In his opinion for this road will open up more and more technologies such as voice recognition.
However, Wozniak believes that never reach the ability to match human technologically. “Computers do not have the intuition of the brain.” While acknowledging there are companies like IBM and Google who are trying to understand how it works, do not think you get to imitate the uniqueness of the human mind: “I always said that never build a computer as smart as the brain, “he summarizes.

Having marketing perspective always in mind, as important in the success of Apple, is one of them. Another two: use as little money as possible in the early stages, and let others try out your ideas and input on them.

During his visit to Spain has been named Doctor Honoris Causa by the Universidad Camilo José Cela . Always positive, Woz leaves a message for hope: “In the world I see more interest in creativity and innovation have never seen in my life, especially in young people.” Young people leave another tip, for which again rely on education: “Do not be afraid to do things you were not taught to do.”
