Steve Wozniak ruffles feathers!
India has been known as the land of cultural diversity for centuries. So when Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of the tech giant Apple, recently expressed during a global business summit held in New Delhi that Indians aren’t creative enough, it set off a furore on social media. Look at a small country like New Zealand — the writers, singers, athletes; it’s a whole different world,” Steve said. Perhaps he thinks that creativity is only making a product company a la the Silicon Valley companies.” He adds, “We may not have been able to make companies like Facebook, Apple or YouTube, but Indian scientists have created spacecrafts such as Mangalyaan and Chandrayaan-1, at the cheapest cost possible which could not be achieved by many other nations.” Besides technology, Amish adds that Indians have also achieved a great deal in literature, art, music and various other fields. With the kind of limited raw material, support and finances, what everyone is doing is pretty amazing,” says Sorabh Pant, one of India’s most popular comedians.
