However, it does mean our society is missing out on other perspectives. Considering how much technology drives our economy and our lives, it makes sense to consider this question: \u201cWhat if women, and all groups underrepresented in computing, were at the technology design and research table alongside white males?\u201d Research tells us we would both solve different problems and solve problems differently.
