Steve Wozniak co-founded Apple. He’s also considered one of the reasons you might be using a personal computer right now. Steve took a photo of the contents of his backpack; click through to see how he rolls.
This is what Steve has to say about the contents of his backpack, you’ll note he’s quite into Gameboy:
You might think this is abnormal for me but, to the contrary, it’s customary.
Every extension cord and USB adapter and USB cable shown here I carry all the time in my backpack with a few exceptions:
- one Belkin AC tripler with dual USB I carry in my suitcase
- one dual USB adapter is from Janet’s travel stuff
- Canon battery charger is carried in the camera bag
- firewire HD I carry in my suitcase
- Verizon 3G mifi adapter (standard micro USB screws up this mifi, have to use their awkward connecter)
Almost every USB cable is retractable.
Every device shown, I carry in my pockets or in my backpack all the time except:
- 2 iPhones, an iPod nano and an iPad belonging to Janet.
Some people ask how heavy my backpack is. There are a lot more things in my backpack including:
- the AirPort Express and MacBook Pro 85W magsafe adapter, which are out of sight in this photo,
- bluetooth mouse,
- binoculars,
- projector connectors,
- multiple Gameboy Lights (a Gameboy sold in Japan but never in the US),
- Gameboy link cables,
- plenty of foreign AC adapters,
- prism glasses for watching movies in bed,
- sunglasses,
- earplugs for concerts,
- Ultimate Ears UE18 earplugs for flights,
- Gameboy link cable,
- tons of pencils for pencil games on flights,
- tons of pens,
- tons of sharpies,
- tons of paint pens (signing),
- red-blue-purple-yellow-green laser pointers,
- credit cards,
- hotel cards,
- airline cards,
- hard rock card,
- medical cards,
- small accessories like olloclip iPhone lens adapter,
- Square,
- flash keys,
- flash media adapters,
- cigarette lighter dual USB adapter,
- audio doubler cable,
- iPad USB/SD Card adapters,
- toiletries for hotels,
- batteries of many types (AA, AAA, CR2, CR128, odder types for things like my bag beeper for locating my suitcase),
- eyedrops,
- $2 bill pads,
- pencil puzzles,
- itineraries for upcoming travel…
I usually say that my backpack weighs 50 pounds. I’m not sure but I have to carry it every step through airports. I’m sure that I’m shorter now than before and I don’t walk as fast. Everything has its place in my backpack.
Sometimes TSA takes a long time unpacking it. A couple of times they asked me to take out everything electronic and I asked for seven bins, all of which I filled (only 2 half-size), plus my MacBook Pro, plus the bag. All of that through the X-ray machine. Then repack it.
Nothing in my backpack goes unused, although the bluetooth mouse is close.
Nice, Woz.
