Technology: The Unfulfilled Promise and the Opportunity Changing the World for Women and for Technology
Technology: The Unfulfilled Promise and the Opportunity Changing the World for Women and for Technology
The promise of technology is to level the playing field, and to make our world more global by providing access for all people to information that can change their lives. But the reality has been quite different. Imagine a world where technology is created by a diverse population and where the results had a significant social impact.
This talk explores both technology creation, as it is today, and looks at why more people aren't choosing to participate in the creation of technology. We also look at the some of the innovative techniques such as service learning that are proven to attract a different population to the study of technology.
Finally we close with the work being done at the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology to empower a new kind of technology leader, and to increase the participation of women in technology.
