Gizmodo is kicking off their series exploring memorable gadgets from memorable people with one of the most influential tech giants: Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple.

Woz writes, “OK…meaningful…here goes…”

“For that definition, it was probably an electronics learning kit I got for Christmas at about age 8 or 9,” Woz writes. “As I recall, it didn’t teach electronics formulas or resistor codes, but was full of projects to hook up input devices like switches and output devices like buzzers and lights.”

Woz writes, “The word ‘meaningful’ has the root ‘meaning’ which implies some emotion. In that sense, my first transistor radio, at about age 10, would fit the bill… I always wanted my own computer. With the Apple I, I now had a machine that I could program. I would never run out of things to do in my entire life. So it’s a close runner up to the other two.”
