It is a matter of grave concern that our culture is defining computers as pre-eminently male machines. Despite the fact that in everyday life computers are becoming ubiquitous, the use of the computer in education seems to be following the traditional lines of gender bias in society. The present situation raises distinctly familiar questions of equity in terms of access to and use of technology. While girls and boys might show a similar appreciation of the significance computers might have for their personal futures, boys tend to be more positively disposed than girls towards computers, are more likely than girls to take optional computer courses in school, to report more frequent home use of computers, and tend to dominate the limited computer resources that are available in school.
