Technology Course Reflection

In the Gender and technology course, at first I was interest in what women role in the technology world. I grow up have little technology, but as I grow older I being to seek technology because the cool kid in school or family member all have that kind of device. My experience with technology was never very good and I remember the first time I get a IPod and could not get to started or use it. I cried because I just suck and my sibling would not help me out. During that time, I understand that everybody was in a growth stage and act according to our emotion when things that it’s not right. I eventually got help and I feel overwhelming at how many things I can do with just a little device such as play game, take picture, listen to music and …show more content…
But sometime I feel that women also figure out time and thinks better than men do, for instance my dad may have a brilliant mind at build and fix things, my mom would still point out things that he misses or they would talk like a team, who was on mission to build somethings big and great that no one has ever done. Which my perspective of the world of technology would be full of smart men in all my life, and when I see this course it make me wanted to know what women could have been doing in such as field. The class given me insight of women role in the world of technology and I feel proud women are not actual waste time following men, but they were trying to overcome men barrier just to be a significant of themselves and the things they do.

However, I see that women were not recognize by their work and women often were not reward for their contribution. I was wondering why men were so against women, but I think men wants to have control over women and they fear the change of women taken any successful role, which are not the norm of the society. Also the issues of baby boy over baby girl, I’m familiar with this since when I was little, parent will favor the male child over the female simply because they will take over the family or believing that in the future that the male child will become some proud and successful men. Which a lot of time a female child was neglect and taught to work at a young age such as work around the house, field and they take responsible very early and behavior like adults soon than male. When we talking about India, I see and hear story of daughter were treated like they are not human and abandoned when they do not obey their parents. However, when I think about it, it’s present in many different culture about the ways parent treated their daughter and some culture may be more rust than other. Which is a scare
