Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak’s Health Incident
Reports from Mexican media state that Steve Wozniak, one of the founders of Apple, had to go to the hospital while he was in Mexico City for the World Business Forum.
According to TMZ, a US media source, the 73-year-old tech expert finished speaking at the event but later told his wife that he felt “strange.” Some suggest he might have experienced vertigo.
In 1976, Wozniak started Apple with Steve Jobs, who was the long-time CEO of Apple until his passing in 2011.
Known as “Woz” and called “the Other Steve” in Silicon Valley, he designed the Apple I and Apple II computers, changing the game for personal computing and making Apple a leader in the market.
Wozniak handled the technical side, creating these systems, while Jobs took care of the marketing. Together, they turned Apple into the world’s most valuable company, famous for its iPhones, MacBooks, Apple Watch, and more.
In 1985, Wozniak left Apple and ventured into new projects, including founding CL 9, which developed the first universal remote control.
Born in San Jose, California, in 1950, Wozniak built his first computer at 11. He studied electrical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1987, he founded Wheels of Zeus, a company focusing on educational software.
Wozniak, who also taught at various universities, engaged in philanthropy and earned several awards for his contributions to the computer industry, such as the National Medal of Technology and Innovation and the Turing Award.
