b) -What new ideas did you get that extended or broadened your thinking in new directions?

The source gave me new ideas about how exposure to computers from age 5 or 6 actually plays a
major role in female interest in computer science in later life. I thought it was really interesting
how the simple games that are marketed to girls vs. boys at such a young stage in life affects their
interests for the rest of their lives. I am going to start to look into marketing and gaming as a
factor of low female enrollment in computer science.

c) -What challenges or puzzles have come up in your mind from the ideas and information presented?

d) Can you provide at least two quotes and/or statistical information from your source that you think
might prove helpful and/or relevant to your project?

Tacit discrimination begins early in life. Family socialization and early education deprioritize CS
skills and knowledge for girls. In college, tacit discrimination comes in various forms, such as no
safe access to terminals at night in study areas; lack of female professional role models;
insufficient mentoring in CS departments; and an exclusive "hacker elite" in CS departments with
its own patois and supportive male network.

Along with parents advocating for equitable CS socialization for their daughters, various
organizations today are making a concerted effort to encourage CS education for girls and
women. GirlTech; Digital Sisters; Committee on the Status of Women in Computing; and the
American Association of University Women are four notable organizations who approach the issue
through education. Women's CS professional networks are proliferating today to assist in not only
educating women in CS but also promoting CS careers and building networks with other women.

Numerous other socialization factors also dissuade girls from computers: the lack of positive role
models in mass media; the dearth of positive adult female role models in math, science, and CS;
and the negative stereotype of geek and nerd in peer culture. Toys and games also serve to
reinforce this division, especially since computer games typically have been created and
manufactured for boys, reflecting an adolescent male culture with themes of war, crime, and
male-oriented sports. Duke Nukem 3Dis one favorite among boy gamers.

I got new ideas on how to convince my audience that this issue should concern them and to show
them how it is relevant to their lives. I am going to research the specific roles technology play in
our lives currently, as well as how they will change and grow in the future, for the betterment of
mankind. I think that this information will be very helpful to explain why this is an important
issue to fix, because it will affect everyone both now and for future generations.

The use of computers in our world will continue to grow. For the foreseeable future, we will need
faster and smaller computers to satisfy the ever-growing need for computing power, either for
research, business, education, or for our own personal use.

Robots will assist surgeons because they are more steady and precise. Although robots are being
used to explore our solar system today, their role will become more significant and complicated in
the future.
