Technology has advanced so much to the point where everyone has high expectations for my generation of engineers. Alan Mathison Turing was a British pioneering computer scientist and a mathematician who has made major contributions in his time (Copeland). Over 70 years ago, Turing introduced the notion of machine that is universal. The central concept of the contemporary computers was based on his very…

Institutional discrimination against women comes in many forms. While employment and the accompanying processes are only one of the many ways that institutional discrimination is carried out, it affects society greatly. This happens through the wage gap, the sex typing of jobs, and barriers placed so women struggle in certain fields.

GHC is a convention to help women in technology fields to get recognized. My dad works for Bank of America and had a few acquaintances who were going to be at the conference. He gave their names and told me I should stop by. When…
