Women and computing

[Rebel-CD32]

While not related to the topic of women and computing as much, I have noticed the stupidity trend over recent years too. You guys should check out this movie "Idiocracy", where an average Joe from our time is frozen and wakes up in the future where everyone in the world is stupid and he's now the smartest man alive. Or this TV series "Nathan Barley", which pretty much sums up how it is now, and what it's like living in a world of idiots.

As for girls using Amigas, I think the best thingg to do is just find a girl who's open minded and introduce her to Amigas and all the great games and creativity software. Don't get your hopes up finding too many girls who already have Amigas, they exist but they're rare. If we want more girls using Amigas, we just have to make them.

Idiocracy rocks and albeit over the top, is a clear indication of where we are heading and in some respects, already are. Same with that newish Disney movie starring the robot Wall-E. Very dark and dismal look at the future. Was kind of surprised Disney packaged it that way. Great movie though.

And about women and computing... not single per se myself and my GF *is* into playing games on it, but was just curious to see how many people were aware of female users back when the Amiga was a contender once. Glad to hear there seems to be a healthy handful, but they all seem to be from outside the U.S.  :-(   Women with a clue outside the U.S.? Now there's a novel concept  ;-)
