Abstract

The article focuses on Steve Wozniak's commencement speech at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he reflected on his experiences as a student and the importance of intellectual freedom. Wozniak shared anecdotes from his time at the university, including his passion for technology and the challenges he faced with institutional pushback, which ultimately led to his expulsion for hacking. He emphasized the value of following one's heart and thinking independently, especially in the context of current student protests across the U.S. related to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Wozniak concluded by encouraging graduates to use their knowledge to mentor others and contribute positively to society. [Extracted from the article]
