Unfortunately one of the problems is the definition of IT. The internet is an essential factor in my work and I too 'love' email, the web etc. I'm even moderately interested in computers, as far as what they can do and what they look like (!). But I've no interest in knowing how to install a motherboard and I don't get excited about networks, wi-fi or what the next big thing from Apple is going to be.

Women are probably more interested in technology as means of communication rather than technology per se. Once new technology settles down and we get away from this obsession with the machinery and start focusing on what it can be used for, the more women will be drawn to it.
