"In the 50 years since he co-founded Apple, Steve Wozniak has been awarded time and again for his engineering skills that helped bring computing to everyday people. But the Tech for Global Good celebration last Friday night stood out for Woz because instead of being honored for his work on computers, he was being celebrated for his work for humanity."
"Being a humanitarian, Wozniak said, has been a big but often overshadowed part of his life. Somehow I'm the different' one of all these people who are well-known in technology, he said during the event at the Signia by Hilton hotel in downtown San Jose. But it's such a meaningful part to me. I didn't ever start this thing to have money, industry or a company."
Steve Wozniak has received numerous awards over 50 years for engineering that broadened personal computing. At the Tech for Global Good celebration he received the James C. Morgan Global Humanitarian Award for his humanitarian efforts. He participated in an onstage conversation with comedian and actor Drew Carey. The event took place at the Signia by Hilton hotel in downtown San Jose and was hosted by the Tech Interactive. Wozniak described humanitarian work as a meaningful but often overshadowed part of his life and said he did not start his efforts for money, industry or company recognition.
