THE PANTAGRAPH, SUNDAY, JAN. 20, 1985 E5 Apple wizard says Where more Americans find computer 'fad' dying a bigger refund Apple's giant success. He left to obtain a degree ln computer science at Berkeley, and has now rejoined Apple as an engineer, working in a small cubicle at the company's Silicon Valley headquarters. His return ln such a lowly capacity, with a cut in salary, is like Henry Ford taking a Job on an assembly line in his own factory. His interests are broad, and do not include the acquisition of power.

Two rock music festivals he organized lost $25 million, but be thought the enjoyment worth it Anyone can call him up. Wozniak's chief Impact as a spokesman is as a sort of public relations man in reverse. He is fiercely' critical of his own company, which he thinks has succumbed to the vices of bureaucracy, especially the vice of secrecy. He says that a rival firm, Hewlett-Packard, is now a better company than Apple, because it is more open, allowing its engineers free access to components, whereas Apple "think they've got to keep everything locked up." The fall ln the price of Apple shares has cost Wozniak $100 million in the past four years. Experience has shown him that the usefulness of the computer has been exaggerated.

When he went to Berkeley to study for his degree he found a computer a hindrance rather than a help. "I spent more time on my courses because I was trying to do all the neat things a computer can do, like beautiful graphs and nice spread sheets. Everybody else went to bed at midnight and I was still working at 6 a.m." Such subversive notions are not unique. Critics are exploring the myth that computers are "revolutionizing" education, as was once predicted, and saying they may be harmful, by crowding out the real substance of learning with time-wasting tricks and gadgets. The realization is dawning that people can easily pick up what they need to know about computers, If anything, after they leave school.

One of Wozniak's new pet projects is far removed from electronics. He wants to start a children's suffrage movement, to enfranchise all family members, regardless of age. The headquarters, office may not even use computers. airline schedules, writing a modest number of letters, paper works Just as well as a computer, and costs less." Even engineers may not need computers as much as they think they do. When Wozniak designed the Apple models I and II he could not afford to rent time on a computer to type code.

Instead he used paper and pencil and found it more efficient, engaging his Interest more strongly, because "I was part of the process." "If I'm right, a lot of computers will start being disused," Wozniak said. "For a couple of years every family had to have them. But you don't go to houses and see them played any more. Computers may be entering that stage. Nobody at Apple is going to like hearing this, but as a general device for everyone, computers have been oversold."

By Scrippt-Howard tit An astonishing blast of heresy casting doubt on the future of the computer In modern life has come from the very person who designed the first personal computer and is one of Silicon Valley's major heroes, Steven Wozniak. -Wozniak is the bearded genius who, with his friend Steven Jobs, started the fabulously successful Apple Computer Co. in a garage. He now has a personal fortune of close to $100 million.

Yet he has Chosen this moment, at the peak of his wealth and fame, to put in question the whole notion of an endlessly expanding market and unlimited uses for computers, especially for the ordinary person. Specifically, Wozniak says: "The home computer may be going the way of video games, which are a dying fad.
