I recently saw an interview between Eric Schmidt and Sheryl Sandberg on BookTV (www.booktv.org) and Sandberg made basically the same point but I think in a little bit more elegant way. She mentioned that she put her teenage daughter in computer camp and there were only 2 other girls in the camp, both of whom were Sandberg's nieces and she also put them in there. The take away for her was that most parents do not encourage girls to go to computer camp. So there is a self fulfilling prophecy so to speak going on. I think both PG and SS are saying pretty much the same thing, but SS is the better person to say it in my view, not that PG shouldn't comment, it's just that him saying distracts from the key point, it is socialization that needs to change. And they are both correct, to be really good in tech, you need to start them young !
