I think that a lot of people may be able to recognize the potential of a technology even if they're not sure how to use it. Still, it makes me sad that they can't just give Google a try and do a little reading on their own. It really bothers me how many women assume that technology is a man's world. When I was a little girl I always got pushed towards the arts despite the fact that I excelled in math and science. Now I'm an engineer but I don't have the traditional background and have to play catch up. I wonder how many little girls are still out there that could be great engineers and scientists if someone just showed them the possibilities rather than sending them the message that it's unfeminine.
