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:

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.
