WASHINGTON, DC, Nov 21, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
AmericanLife TV (ALN), the cable network devoted to the Baby Boomer
generation, announced today they will present an exclusive screening
of a new documentary, "Moments That Changed Us: Steve Wozniak" -- and
the beginnings of the computer revolution, a revealing interview with

"Moments That Changed Us" is a series of groundbreaking specials
presented by AmericanLife TV that re-tells the defining times of the
Baby Boom Generation. The series is hosted by Nick Clooney, veteran
journalist and father of actor, George Clooney. Each special
presents an in-depth interview with a leading figure in a signature
moment that changed our lives, our culture and our history.
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak co-founded Apple Computers in 1976 and
made an incredible creative team, inventing the first personal home
computers. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was interviewed by Nick
Clooney and speaks candidly in this rare interview on the show. This
special will feature the story of Apple, and evolution and effects on
the baby boomer generation, and the genius of Steve Wozniak as a
computer engineer and designer and how he came to design the Apple
II, which was one of the first practical desktop computers that could
be used in businesses, schools and the home.
"Today we take computers for granted; in fact my kids can't conceive
of a world without them," said Mark Ringwald, AmericanLife TV's Vice
President of Programming, "yet in reality the information age began
just a few short years ago. Through Steve, this 'Moments' documentary
lets us re-experience the sense of wonder and awe in discovering a
machine that brought the future into our homes."
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak are among the most well-known
revolutionaries of the computing age. Their invention of the first
true personal computer changed baby boomers' ideas of what a computer
could look like and what it could do for them to make their lives
easier and their work more efficient. Apple continues to be one of
the best-known and most popular brands of personal computing devices
in the world.
Both Wozniak and Jobs have been recognized with countless awards and
honors, including National Medals of Technology, awarded in 1985 by
then-President Ronald Reagan. Wozniak was inducted into the Inventors
Hall of Fame in 2000 and is a past recipient of the Heinz Award for
Technology, The Economy and Employment.
