What makes it particularly sad is that said professor did his PhD in computer engineering and still failed to see Wozniak's genius.
Wozniak designed early apple computers, down to the chips. Without him Steve Jobs would be selling shoes or vegetables.
Your teacher should have studied business or finance instead, if he's has such a mindset.
Yes sad. It describes much of my experience with universities in Lebanon as well. Teachers want their salary in their bank account and students want their piece of paper. Depressingly, there was not much more to it.
