By Mike Cassidy McClatchy Tribune

The stubbornly low number of female computer science students in the United States has generated a pile of academic stud- ies, ample hand-wringing and a wide-rang- ing discussion in tech and education circles about what can be done to boost the number of women choosing computing careers. All of which raises a fair question: What difference does it make if women don’t join the tech workforce in the same numbers that men do? It turns out it makes a huge difference. The dearth of women in computing has the potential to slow the U.S. economy, which needs more students in the pipeline to feed its need for more programmers. It harms women by excluding them from some of the best jobs in the country. And it damages U.S. companies, which studies show would ben- efit from more diverse teams. Quite a trifecta. “Today, two and a half billion people are connected to the Internet,” said David Cull- er, chair of the University of California- Berkeley’s Electrical Engineering and Com- puter Sciences department. “There are more cellphone users than toothbrush users.
