Traditionally, men have been seen as the pioneers and drivers of this new high-tech world. But as we embark on a new millennium, a new generation of women is shifting the definition of the digital dynamic. Technology with Curves is a celebration of these 'wired women' and invites readers into the lives and work of these women who are humanizing technology. According to Carol M. Stephenson, President and CEO of Lucent Technologies Canada Inc., women bring special gifts including courage and creativity. A third gift is that of customer understanding.
Customer satisfaction comes from listening and responding to customers' needs.
The fourth gift is a woman's seemingly natural tendency to collaborate while the final gift is passion - a passion for change and a profound concern about the future. Inspired, informative and entertaining, Technology with Curves is a contemporary study of life, work and culture and recognizes the work of the women who are increasingly the new personalities and players of the wired world.
