Patent number: 4,136,359

I think my Inventor succeded because of both because he worked very hard, but also had inspiration. I beleive this because It says "My father told me that as an engineer, you can change your world and change the way of life for lots and lots of people," Wozniak said. "To this day, I still believe engineers are among the key people in the world."
