That's the message hand-drawn by high school students in a survey of technology use in schools. But when asked to illustrate computer users, the majority of students portrayed a young male 'nerd' or simply a male computer whiz, while a young, explicitly feminized character is shown as being the opposite.
Preliminary results show that gender remains a major issue when it comes to technology access.
Besides the gender issue, the high school survey revealed other characteristics about computer use in general. It found students overall spend little time at school using computers, don't feel encouraged to use them and in some cases, don't even know where they are located.
