On: Playing With IT, And Why It Matters

a lot of other girls have a negative portrayal of people who work on computers, being that they dont wanna "turn into a computer geek who sits in front of the computer all day" ;)

i interact with a large group of teenage girls 3 days a week, and for the most part they know how to operate a computer, and use certain programs.. (napster, icq). we can only hope that someday, some of those girls take an interest in figuring out more about it, how it works, and what more they can do with it.

and maybe we can get more girls embracing geekdom :)

On: Playing With IT, And Why It Matters

i work as a webmonkey at a small company and ive been here for about.. 6 months now. when i was first getting to know one of the girls here, we were talking about computers, and she asked me "you dont really go home from work and get right back on the computer do you?" and i replied "uhh.. yeah? its fun". apparently, when i go home from work at 5, after being on the computer since 9 am, i'm supposed to go do other things.. yeah right :)
