PanARMENIAN.Net - On November 11, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak held
a news conference on the sidelines of his 2-day visit to Yerevan.
At the event, the computer scientist dwelled on technologies of future,
urging innovators to use the "scientific fantasy" approach.
Commenting on the link between people and technology, Wozniak stressed
the importance of using technologies to optimize the quality of
peoples' lives, adapting technologies to the needs of people rather
than the opposite.
Wozniak spoke of his lack of trust for cloud technology. As the
scientist noted in reply to PanARMENIAN.Net reporter's question on the
future of cloud technology, "some believe, through cloud technology,
their information can be stored without any program refreshments. The
technology is really suitable for information storage. Yet, I don't
like the idea of using a server to access my information. So I believe
cloud technology has room for development."
Speaking of his origin, Wozniak confessed to having Polish and
German roots.
In conclusion, he promised to spread word about Armenia and its
potential as soon as he's back to Silicon Valley, suggesting creation
of more IT educational centers in Armenia.
On November 10, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak arrived in Yerevan on a
2-day visit on the invitation of Presidential IT Awards Committee. In
Armenian capital, Wozniak will be granted Serzh Sargsyan's award for
major contribution to the development of IT sector.
