RE: Museum of living computers: Inspiration from the past

in #blog7 years ago

You may have noticed one of your photos had an atari joystick. A lot of people dont know that steve jobs and steve wozniak first worked together as developers of atari hardwarw and software. Its crazy how thats never talked about bc atari was such a popular company in the 1980’s. A lot of what we saw in the final product of computers was first developed in gaming consoles where more “mad scientist” 👨🏽‍🔬 like experimentation was going on. The stuff that worked was implemented into computers and what didnt was cast aside. Heres a mini documentary (12 min) about Steve jobs and Wozniak’s time at atari.

Sort:  

I thought Jobs was the one who worked at Atari, and he made Wozniak (who worked for HP) do his work for him or something like that. I didn't watch the documentary yet, I will later. Thanks for sharing.

Thats basically what happened, but atari was aware of wozniak’s help.
