]]> Comment on Girls Discouraged, Boys Encouraged in Tech: Why Hasn’t This Changed by Lauren http://www.womenwiredin.com/2009/08/girls-discouraged-boys-encouraged-in-tech/comment-page-1/#comment-20960 Lauren Sun, 16 Aug 2009 03:58:51 +0000 http://www.womenwiredin.com/?p=788#comment-20960 I sigh as I write this because I don't even know where to begin. As an AA woman in the technology field I can't believe anyone would say there isn't a problem. I work at a major reseller which means I interface with all of the major players. 98% of the time I am the only African-American in the room and 92% of the time I am the only female (rough estimates but you get my point). I think two things need to happen: 1) We need to expose girls to the career opportunities. I would venture to say many still don't know the options and 2) We can't let companies off the hook. Those of us that are on the inside have to be vocal about what is right and what is wrong with the current system. I sigh as I write this because I don’t even know where to begin.

What parents can do is have a control over the usage. Be a cool mom or dad explain to your teen that they can't just use the minute all they want and be take charge in paying for the bill. In some way it will help them be a responsible person. Cellphones on teens are everywhere and parents can’t control that. What parents can do is have a control over the usage.

Wired wrote about this, titling the piece “She’s Gotta Have It:Cell Phone” implying that it is mostly a girl thing. Teenagers nowadays cant live without cellphones its part of there lives.

I will say I love Chrome in so many ways, but the flash issue and not being able to print a selection really tick me off! I hope they get these issues resolved in a near future version. Near future being the operative words! I have to totally agree with you on the issues you pointed out.

I think the Flash problem is my biggest issue. (Brain not working on all cylinders today ...migraine. Heh.) It's so funny, though, that you compared it to Simon - as that is what I keep saying to people! Usually I get, "What's Simon?" Ugh.... What are they saying? Am I old? Gah! Truthfully, if Firefox hadn't gotten completely messed up on my machine - I would've switched back to it weeks ago! Firefox just kind of died on me one day, months ago, and I switched to Flock. Flock is fun, but, you want to talk about a resource hog! Oh my! I think I'm gonna try to get Firefox back again, though.

I know in my heart that he, as well as many others, are indeed seeing what has finally happened in the US (Long overdue). Finally, this country can move forward. Unfortunately, many that made it all possible can not be here in person to celebrate with all of us. Sorry for the loss of your Grandfather.

An a non-american, I'm glad that the republicans got beat, I have no real issue with McCain, but god forbid something should happen to him and Palin ends up the most powerful person on the planet!
