John Leyba: What initially got you interested in technology and science? When did you get started?
Steve Wozniak: Around 4th grade, I'd say. I started reading "Tom Swift" books. They were about this young guy who was an engineer who could design anything, and he owned his own company, and he would entrap aliens, and build submarines, and have projects all over the world. It was just the most intriguing world, like the first TV shows you ever watched.
Steve Wozniak, the son of a Lockheed engineer, grew up in Sunnyvale, where he dreamed of having his own computer. The rest is Silicon Valley legend.
I wanted an atomic earth drill for Christmas...I had dreams of my own metal-rich magma gusher in the backyard of Fall Creek Elementary School.
