Description
Before cell phones that fit in the palm of your hand and slim laptops that fit snugly into briefcases, computers were like strange, alien vending machines. They had cryptic switches, punch cards and pages of encoded output. But in 1975, a young engineering wizard named Steve Wozniak had an idea: What if you combined computer circuitry with a regular typewriter keyboard and a video screen? The result was the first true personal computer, the Apple I, a widely affordable machine that anyone could understand and figure out how to use.
Wozniak's life—before and after Apple—is a "home-brew" mix of brilliant discovery and adventure, as an engineer, a concert promoter, a fifth-grade teacher, a philanthropist, and an irrepressible prankster. From the invention of the first personal computer to the rise of Apple as an industry giant, iWoz presents a no-holds-barred, rollicking, firsthand account of the humanist inventor who ignited the computer revolution. 16 pages of illustrations.

**描述**
在手掌大小的手機和緊湊型筆電尚未問世之前,電腦就像奇怪的外星自動販賣機。它們擁有難以理解的開關、打孔卡和頁頁編碼的輸出。但在1975年,一位名叫史蒂夫·沃茲尼亞克(Steve Wozniak)的年輕工程天才有了一個想法:如果將電腦電路與普通打字機鍵盤和顯示器結合起來會怎樣?結果是第一台真正的個人電腦——Apple I,這是一台任何人都能理解並學會使用的廣泛可負擔的機器。
沃茲尼亞克的生活——在Apple之前和之後——是一個「自製」的精彩發現與冒險的混合體,身為工程師、音樂會推廣者、五年級教師、慈善家和無法抑制的惡作劇者。從第一台個人電腦的發明到Apple作為行業巨頭的崛起,《iWoz》呈現了一個不留情面的、充滿活力的第一手敘述,講述了這位點燃電腦革命的人道主義發明家的故事。包含16頁插圖。
