Video: Woz Calls Jobs ‘Greatest Tech Leader of Our Time’

Posted in: Apple, Miscellaneous, steve jobs, Today's Chili

It would be difficult to overstate the significance of Steve Jobs to Apple, and harder still to overstate Apple’s influence on the tech sector. Jobs was the towering figure behind a towering company.

So says Steve Wozniak, the man who founded Apple with Jobs. Wozniak waxed poetic about Jobs in an interview with Bloomberg. He spoke at length about Jobs’ leadership, the culture he created at Apple and the future of the company.

“He’s always going to be remembered, at least for the next hundred years, as the greatest technology business leader of our time,” Woz said of Jobs.

As a great poet once wrote, “Today is the greatest day I’ve ever known.” Okay, that might be hyping things up a bit, but we’re pretty pumped to meet you all tonight.
