Steve Wozniak's moment of revelation came in 1975 when he typed a character on a keyboard and saw it appear on his own computer screen. This wasn't just another engineering project - it was the birth of personal computing. While Steve Jobs would later become Apple's public face, it was Wozniak's technical brilliance that made their vision possible. What's fascinating is how his revolutionary creation emerged not from corporate R&D but from a passionate hobbyist who simply wanted to impress his friends at the Homebrew Computer Club. Growing up in 1950s Northern California during the Cold War, young Woz couldn't ask his father about his classified work at Lockheed's missile program. But what his father could share changed his life: a deep appreciation for extreme honesty and the fascinating world of electronics. Before turning four, Woz was already learning about resistors, diodes, and oscilloscopes during weekend visits to his father's workplace. These early experiences instilled in him an unshakable belief that engineers were the smartest people in the world - they were the ones who changed reality. By fourth grade, Woz understood the fundamental building blocks of digital devices and was developing the methodical approach to problem-solving that would later prove essential in creating the first personal computer. His childhood hero wasn't a sports star, but Tom Swift Jr., a fictional teenage scientist-engineer who built incredible machines to solve global crises.
