But generally there has been a "massive global failure to address this critical issue", Ms Bernhardt says. "To me the real issue is in the harder IT areas (of) programming and design. We have desperate shortages and a rapidly declining rate of girls taking up studies in this area.

We may even see technology that is simpler to use and more attractive. Technology designed without female input can be critically one-dimensional."
