Why girls dislike technology

Lisa writes "A study was released recently that proves something we are all too aware of - women aren't getting involved in the computer scene as much as men are. It is mentioned that part of the reason this occurs is that women and men are both directed in high school toward jobs traditionally held by their gender. Also, educational software and games tend to have a gender bias -thus leading toward a disinterest by women toward techonology related careers. I think its important to keep in mind this idea -that women are not inherently inferior when it comes to computers, but rather do not hold an interest because it is not an inviting field for women. I hope to see more about this subject in the media in the future."
