Last week, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak stepped on the TEDx stage in Brussels for the first time ever to discuss his view of technology and innovation. “Steve Wozniak is a pioneer of the digital age, he was one of the three founders of Apple Computer, setting up in Steve Jobs’ garage in 1976. Woz, as he is almost universally known, designed the hardware, circuit boards and operating system for the Apple I.
