Just my observation, but it seems that I see more women in tech from the Asian countries than from the US. Watching my two teenage daughters grow up here as well as their friends, the focus of our schools still seem more bent on being good in sports than in academics, and even worse for science. Sports for girls happen to be much more serious than when I was in school. Being a "nerd" for a boy is starting to get a bit more acceptance (see Big Bang Theory), but for girls they seem a bit more harsh. At least from what I can tell by watching how things are with my kids and their friends. One of the friends of my daughter, who does very well in school, hides her grades and "pretends" to be stupid. This is really a sad state of affairs if you ask me :-( -- Steve
