沃兹尼亚克是影响乔布斯的重要人物之一。乔布斯与沃兹尼亚克初遇时，他们就很快发现了彼此都有着许多共同点，很快两人因为共同的兴趣交融到一起。

By fourth grade Wozniak became, as he put it, one of the "electronics kids." He had an easier time making eye contact with a transistor than with a girl, and he developed the chunky and stooped look of a guy who spends most of his time hunched over circuit boards. At the same age when Jobs was puzzling over a carbon microphone that his dad couldn't explain, Wozniak was using transistors to build an intercom system featuring amplifiers, relays, lights, and buzzers that connected the kids' bedrooms of six houses in the neighborhood. And at an age when Jobs was building Heathkits, Wozniak was assembling a transmitter and receiver from Hallicrafters, the most sophisticated radios available.
Woz spent a lot of time at home reading his father's electronics journals, and he became enthralled by stories about new computers, such as the powerful ENIAC. Because Boolean algebra came naturally to him, he marveled at how simple, rather than complex, the computers were. In eighth grade he built a calculator that included 100 transistors, 200 diodes, and 200 resistors on ten circuit boards. It won top prize in a local contest run by the Air Force, even though the competitors included students through 12th grade.
到了四年级，沃兹尼亚克成为了他自称为“电子小孩”的一类人。对他来说，盯着一只晶体管要比跟一个姑娘眉来眼去来得容易，他就以矮矮胖胖、有点儿驼背的形象示众，大多数时间他都埋头于电路板中。在乔布斯还在为一个连他父亲都解释不清的碳精话筒而迷惑的年纪，沃兹尼亚克已经在使用晶体管搭建对讲系统了，这个系统带有放大器、继电器、灯和蜂鸣器，连接了相邻的6座房子中孩子们的卧室。乔布斯还在玩希斯工具盒的时候，沃兹尼亚克已经在组装来自世界上最先进的无线电制造商哈利克拉夫特的发射器和接收器了，他还和父亲一起获得了业余无线电执照。
沃兹花了大量的时间在家阅读父亲的电子学期刊，他着迷于关于新式计算机的那些故事，比如强大的埃尼阿克。在接触到布尔代数之后，他惊奇地发现其实计算机系统一点儿也不负责，而是非常简单。八年级的时候，他基于二进制理论创造出了一台计算机，把100只晶体管、200只二极管、200只电阻装在了10块电路板上。在当地一项由空军举办的赛事上，尽管参赛者中还有十二年级的学生，但这台计算机还是赢得了最高奖。
