Outliers talks about how Bill Gates innate interest and skill in programming wasn't enough. The fact that his family was wealthy and he was lucky enough to go to a particular school that had rare access (at the time) to computers was an instrumental part of his personal and professional development. And we all know his impact. I think that exposure to ICT from a location and inter-personal influences is absolutely part of it.

And have you only really working in the ICT field? I ask this because I wonder if that proximity drove you into the field in spite of its predominate male culture, or if you found it an inherent calling because of your early trials in other fields showed you wanted to be in technology vs. other industries? If the former, then increasing girls usage of ICT may be much harder than the latter. Brooke, could growing up in Silicon Valley be the main reason you pursued a career in ICT?
