As we saw in recent weeks, access to and interest in technology is greatly impacted by race and gender. Women and minorities are less likely to consider themselves talented in tech fields and less likely to get jobs in tech.
Focusing on gender and/or race, how significant is the problem of unequal access to tech? What are its causes? What is the impact of this inequality? What ideas do you have about how to address this inequality?
You may use your own experience as a tech scholar as part of your answer, if you choose.
