Quoting: miranda
I receantly read this article on Polish women having a problem with computer technology.
At the risk of upsetting another significant part (ie half) of the audience I would say that women in general have more of a problem with computer technology. Let me qualify that. Using the compuetr software when everything is technically operating is not a problem. Fixing the hardware or dealing with operating system errors or understanding networking is a problem in my experience. In the UK this has been because women have not been encouraged to get into IT matters (oh Szarlotka it's a good job you're away from home). I read somewhere that more girls are getting into games playing (XBox etc) and the traditional male preserve is being eroded. Let's face it, computers even today are not the consumer friendly devices that Mr Gates promised us 5 years ago.
To summarise I don''t think it's a particular problem for Polish women and it's only a problem for women in general because of the 'geek' thing. And yes I do know some excellent women in IT.
