His parents taught him to always try his best in everything he does. His dad, Francis Jacob Wozniak, came from Michigan and was an engineer. Engineering and technology had caught Wozniak’s attention, so he wanted to learn more. (Wozniak
One of the goals he achieved was finally finishing a device known as the blue box, that hacks into phone lines to make free long-distance calls. (Doeden, pg 13) Steve Wozniak quotes, “I simply took a year off to earn money for my fourth year of school. And then my career kept going up.” (Seiter, Website) This quote is showing that he achieved his goal to earn money and use that money to go to college and learn about technology and engineering. If he didn’t take a year off to earn money, he probably would not have enough money to buy technology and tinker with it. The technology and goals that were a success were all achievements that he had accomplished.
Steve Wozniak’s career was full of travel and excitement. Steve Wozniak attended quite a few colleges.

(Wozniak and Smith, pg 71 and 119) He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and computer sciences. (Seiter, Website) After finishing Berkeley in June, Wozniak went to find a place where he could work with technology
He worked at a company called Electroglas. (Wozniak and Smith, pg 120) After Electroglas, he switched jobs to work at Hewlett-Packard in 1972 to make handheld calculators. (Lusted, pg 23) Steve Wozniak’s career impacted himself to work harder at technology.
The way Steve Wozniak impacts society is so interesting! One way will be by continuing a legacy for people in the future to observe. He wants other engineers to survey his work and think, wow, he did some amazing engineering, soldering wires the right way, coding a certain way. (Weaver and Robinson, Website) He also continues his legacy by teaching computer programming in school. (allaboutthewoz.weekly.com, Website) Although he had a big impact on society, there some something much larger than society that was also impacted by him.
He impacted the world! He did this by improving technology so people can drive in their car, text and make calls on their phones, and play video games on consoles to be entertained.

If you are reading this right now on a computer, think about how Steve Wozniak inspired other people, like engineers, to make technology better. If it wasn’t for Steve Wozniak’s genius mind, life would have been so much
