\"Steve<\/a><\/p>\n

Steve Wozniak is known for many things, but did you know that in addition to co-founding Apple, he also invented the universal remote control?* In this podcast interview, I dig into that story and more as we talk about Woz’s personal history with Television.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

Since October, I’ve been working on a new podcast called The Culture of Tech. It’s an interview show where I talk about the intersection of culture and technology — and the past, present, and future of tech — while intertwining my own original music into the mix.<\/p>\n

My first show is here<\/a>. The guest is Steve Wozniak talking about Television. I thought it would be fun to pick a unifying topic and discuss it throughout his career.<\/p>\n

In this case, Woz’s love and knowledge of television both allowed him to design Apple’s first two signature products (the Apple I and Apple II), but also to later create a company called CL9 that pioneered universal remote controls with the CORE remote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coming up on episode 2 will be Richard Garriott (of Ultima fame) talking about the Virtues.<\/p>\n

I’m still working on logos, artwork, etc, and the official Culture of Tech website<\/a>. I also set up an official Culture of Tech Twitter feed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hope you enjoy the show. Please let me know what you think — your feedback is essential. And if you like what you hear, please consider supporting my work on Patreon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

*Engineers at GE also invented a universal remote control around the same time, and Woz’s product, which was much more powerful, hit the market two years later.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n
