document: Computing 2002 : democracy , education , and the future Computer scientists , computer engineers , information technologists , and their collective products have grown and changed in quantity , quality , and nature . In the first decade of this new century , it should become apparent to everyone that the computing and information fields , broadly defined , will have a profound impact on every element of every person 's life . The author considers how women and girls of the world have been neither educated for computing nor served by computing .
