digitales 2003

Digitales2003 is calling for stories and texts about gender and technology. Different stories:

One often hears that girls are not interested in technical things because they are too cold and too systematic, but what about telling them that one of the pioneers of computing wanted to create a machine that would enable him to contact his lost loved one and that he died like Snow White after eating a poisoned apple : isn't that a beautiful fairy tale?

That's certainly a different way of telling Turing's story. Do you think it would really help women in technology? (via Hilde)

My version of Turing's story as a movie pitch, if somewhat tongue in cheek.
