> in 1985 37% of women had a degree in Computer Science. In 2010, this number rolled down to 18%. Without a doubt, this negative tendency will have a huge — and potentially demolishing — effect on tech companies. We'd all love to have more women in tech, but "huge", "demolishing"? Tech has been highly successful despite that decline. Other fields do just fine without gender balance (psychology and veterinary doctors are dominated by women, for example; the fields aren't being "demolished"). Yes, some studies show that greater gender balance is good for an industry. But many factors affect an industry's success. There is no need for alarmism.
