We're like seals or something. We'll just find a way to play with anything. I think there is hope, because people want to make money selling products to girls. There's too many girls for people not to try to sell things to them. As more female designers get into interactive games and computer entertainment, we'll see things that work start to happen.
Girls demand more from technology than boys do.
For boys, just being able to shoot something and have pretty explosions is kind of enough, and computers are good at that. Computers aren't good at the kinds of things girls like to do. For girls, it's not about a spatial universe, it's a social universe, and this requires much more sophisticated technology than is currently available to us. And the things she wants are like eight years off. She wants characters that will actually talk intelligently to you, and if you think of the kind of computing power and software innovation that requires, it's immense.
