Steve Wozniak is the charismatic co-founder of the Apple company, he is often quoted in the press for the praises and criticisms brought both to those from Cupertino and to Apple's various competitors. Steve Wozniak was one of Steve Jobs' best friends, he was the inventor of the first Mac sold by the Apple company, he worked at Apple for many years and made a world name thanks to his ingenuity.
Last month, Madame Tussauds asked the American public which important man from the technological industry should be immortalized by a wax statue in the museum, and Steve Wozniak was the "winner". Although important people like Elon Musk or George Lucas were considered, the American public loves Steve Wozniak more, and now he will have his own statue in the famous museum.
Madame Tussauds already has wax statues representing Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg, and the statue representing Steve Wozniak will be on display at the San Francisco museum sometime this fall. The creation of the statue will take between two and three months, the co-founder of Apple apparently already giving his consent to be part of the museum's famous collection of visionaries and innovators.
"I AM INCREDIBLY EXCITED TO BE INDUCTED INTO THE MADAME TUSSAUDS FAMILY. I REMEMBER VISITING THE LONDON MUSEUM AS A KID, AND HOW COOL IT WAS TO SEE MARK KNOPFLER'S FIGURE IN WAX," SAYS WOZNIAK. "I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY FIGURE NEXT TO JOBS - IT'LL BE JUST LIKE OLD TIMES."
Steve Wozniak was, of course, flattered by the fact that the American public loves him so much, and from the fall those in San Francisco will be able to take a picture with his wax version, those from Madame Tussauds going to put, the most probably, his statue and that of Steve Jobs in the immediate vicinity.
