"The technology should support the human, not vice versa."

Steve Wozniak talks to Adam Shaw, about how his childhood passion for electronics led him to design the Apple I and Apple II computers. He discusses how his shyness became a strength that enabled him to focus entirely on pursuing the design principles that would set Apple apart from the competition.

"Woz" also reveals that whilst Apple has developed into a global tech giant, his heart lies with engineering rather than big business, and he refutes the allegation that the Apple of 2006 has become obsessed with style over substance.
