Stephen Gary Wozniak (English: Stephen Gary Wozniak, August 11, 1950 -), a Polish-American technology entrepreneur, computer engineer, philanthropist and inventor, is regarded as a pioneer of the personal computer revolution. In 1976, Wozniak co-founded Apple Computer with Steve Jobs, and developed the first and second generation Apple computers in the late 1970s. The second-generation computer became popular across the United States as soon as it was released, becoming the best-selling personal computer at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s.
