Berkeley campus during the period of the student antiwar movements. Teenagers Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak are shown caught on the campus during a riot between students and police. They flee and after finding safety, Jobs states to Wozniak, Those guys think theyre revolutionaries. Theyre not revolutionaries, we are. Wozniak then comments that Steve was never like you or me. He always saw things differently. Even when I was in Berkeley, I would see something and just see kilobytes or circuit boards while hed see karma or the meaning of the universe. ........
