Yerevan/Mediamax/. Today, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was awarded
an Honorary Doctorate title by State Engineering University of Armenia
(SEUA).
Steve Wozniak visited the SEUA today with his spouse Janette and met

Handing the Honorary Doctorate Diploma to Steve Wozniak for the
big contribution into the sphere of information and communication
technologies, SEUA Rector Ara Avetisyan expressed the hope that Apple
co-founder will often visit Armenia.
"This title is a big honor for me. Armenia has already become a
lifelong part of my soul and heart, and this University if very
important for me. This title means that I still can inspire young
people to create something new," Steve Wozniak said during his first
lecture at SEUA.
He told the audience why and how he decided to become an engineer.
"I fell in love with the computer because it allows the man to
program what he wants to do. Still from early childhood I dreamed
of a personal computer, and my good friend Steve Jobs, who always
valued the perfection in life, understood me and we began doing it,"
said the inventor of the first personal computer in the world.
Steve Wozniak also told about his contribution into the provision of
communication between the USA and USSR during the Cold War. He also
said that besides information technologies he was also attracted by
Christian missionary work at college.
