Apple Co-Founder Is Bringing Us an Even Nerdier 'Comic Con'
Macintosh prime supporter Steve Wozniak had a front column seat as the PC reshaped society. So it sounded good to him to carry a tradition coinciding innovation with popular society to Silicon Valley.

The meeting will happen March 18-20 in San Jose, California, with the presentation of Silicon Valley Comic Con. It's another turn on a thought that has united aficionados of sci-fi, dream and superheroes at stuffed shows held the world over for quite a long time.

"I don't care for doing likewise as other people," Wozniak told The Associated Press Wednesday. So he cooperated with four different accomplices to have a go at something somewhat distinctive.

Tossing innovation in with the general mish-mash ought to tighten up the geek vibe that swells through every single Comic Con. A sold-out horde of around 30,000 architects, business visionaries and popular society authorities is relied upon to swarm into the Silicon Valley occasion.

The motivation incorporates a board dedicated to the quantum domain and an "application back street" including items from innovation new businesses. The marquee attractions on the diversion side incorporate William Shatner from the first "Star Trek" and "Back To The Future" stars Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson.

Wozniak, 65, is sure the crossover tradition will be a hit.

"The feelings we have for innovation now are the same as we get for motion pictures, big names and the entire popular society side of our lives," he said.

That love of innovation turned Wozniak's late accomplice, Steve Jobs, into a symbol - and his October 2011 demise into an overall wake.

Wozniak himself has turned out to be better known through late motion pictures that retold the tale of Jobs and Apple, and additionally his visitor appearances on TV shows, for example, "Hitting the dance floor with The Stars" and "The Big Bang Theory." He now works at a Silicon Valley startup, Primary Data, furthermore spends around 33% of the year out and about, for the most part giving discourses and showing up.

"Everybody I go on the planet, individuals simply say, 'Thank you, thank you,' regardless of the possibility that they don't happen to possess an Apple item," Wozniak said. "They are trying to say thank you for being a piece of everything and need to demonstrate their adoration."

Silicon Valley Comic Con is the primary significant occasion that Wozniak has sponsored subsequent to the mid 1980s. While on leave from Apple taking after a plane accident, he financed the US Festivals, a couple of three-day shows held in the southern California desert. The occasions, which included top acts, for example, The Police, The Talking Heads, The Clash, David Bowie and Fleetwood Mac, drew gigantic group yet still figured out how to lose about $26 million (generally Rs. 176 crores), as indicated by Wozniak.

He said that won't happen at Silicon Valley Comic Con, which has officially sufficiently sold tickets to turn a benefit. A few tickets, which cost from $25 to $99, are still accessible, however a sold-out horde of around 30,000 individuals is normal.

"Following the time when beginning Apple, I have had the mindset that you ought to make a benefit," Wozniak said. "That was Steve Jobs' enormous part (at Apple). He trusted you begin an organization to make a benefit since that is the main way you are going to go ahead to fabricate other awesome things."

Employments disliked Wozniak's contribution in the US Festivals and most likely wouldn't have considered much Silicon Valley Comic Con, as per Wozniak.

"He would have been grinding away in his initial days, however individuals change and identities settle in," Wozniak said. "He turned out to be a greater amount of the specialist bringing the world forward with things such as the Apple PC."

In spite of the fact that Apple hasn't presented another hit item since Jobs' demise, Wozniak doesn't trust the organization has lost the "advancement enchantment" that incubated the iPod, iPhone and iPad amid the last decade of its late CEO's residency.

"Apple is fit as a fiddle to improve for the following 200 years, just with their money (totaling $216 billion)," he said. "That purchases a great deal of disappointment. Something about advancement is you need to hazard disappointment."

Wozniak is trusting Silicon Valley Comic Con moves a portion of the specialists and different business visionaries in participation to bet on thoughts that might appear somewhat odd.

"A considerable measure of sci-fi begins as a fantasy in your mind where you go, 'Goodness, that would be cool,' and afterward you have the genuine innovation individuals transform it into reality," Wozniak said. "That is the procedure of creation."
