	Stereotype - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Often a stereotype is a negative caricature or inversion of some positive characteristic possessed by members of a group, exaggerated to the point where it becomes repulsive or ridiculous.
		Stereotypes are common in the world of drama, where the term is often used as a form of dramatic shorthand for "stock character".
		For example, the stereotypical devil is a red, impish character with horns, bifurcated tail, and a pitchfork (actually a trident), whilst the stereotypical salesman is a slickly-dressed, fast-talking individual who cannot usually be trusted.

	Computing for a Purpose
		We refer to this orientation as "computing for a purpose." In this paper, we examine the nature of these two different attachments and discuss the implications for computer science education (curriculum, pedagogy, and culture) if greater numbers of potentially interested women are to be attracted to and engaged with the field.
		The computer for them is the ultimate toy and they get "hooked." They become "intensely fascinated." "Play" and "fun" are the words that they use when they describe their first experiences with computers.
		While love of computing is the overwhelming reason why most of the males in our study major in computer science, women cite a more varied array of reasons for their decision to major.

	Pseudo-scientific rumors on computer geek. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		While we have interviewed some self-described computer geeks who tell us that computers are the primary passion of their lives, our research reveals successful computer science students, both male and female, with a wider variety of interests and ways of relating to the computer than the stereotype portrays.
		They are more likely to conclude that they do not belong in computer science because they do not have the same relationship to the computer and do not know as much about computing as their male peers.
		Persistence and Resistance Until the long-range goal of gender integration and cultural/curricular change in computer science is accomplished, it appears that an important component of women's persistence in the major involves conscious resistance to the dominant culture.

		Whether boys see computers as toys and girls see computers as tools based on their role models remains to be examined.
		It forcefully illustrated the development of stereotypes of computer users during adolescence with the pre-dominant appraisal by late adolescence for both sexes of computer users as young ‘geek-like’ males.
		Stereotypes of computer users as male seemed well established for both sexes by late adolescence.

		When women in computing were asked for their definition of nerd, they replied that nerds were considered overwhelmingly to be young, white males with glasses and bad clothing.

		The stereotypes that tend to solidify (rather than dissipate) during adolescence only further the perception that computers are something "male." Games, in their current dominant form, tend to reinforce this stereotype.
		Women are more drawn to computing with a sense of purpose, e.g., contextual concers, creative overlaps with computing, the versatility of the field in terms of application areas.
		In addition, there is room for offering views of CS and computation that counter the stereotype at all levels of the curriculum, both in class and outside of it.

	The Shuttle XPC and Linux Revolution. Part I - Installation.
		Computer cases are now available in a variety of materials, from elegant brushed aluminium to clear perspex, with designs ranging from a clean, almost puritanical box, through to artistic designs with references to the classic shapes of the art deco period.
		It is easy to knock Microsoft, but the success of home computer and its penetration into the home on a scale unimaginable a decade ago is due, almost exclusively, to their vision of bringing computing to the masses.
		And so, it is quite feasible that whilst the beige box and Microsoft dominated home computing in the 1990’s, the first decade of the 21st century may see the growth of a new model for computing: the small form factor PC and Linux.

	Women in Computer Sciences: Reversing the Trend: Campus Technology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Further discouraging women in computing is an incorrect stereotype that computing is a solitary and antisocial activity.
		To help counteract this stereotype, computer science faculty can adopt cooperative learning techniques in their classroom, assign group problem-solving activities, and invite local industry employees (preferably women) to the campus to discuss a typical day at their job.
		Specifically, if a computing department moves from a non-engineering college to an engineering college, the department can expect an 18 to 26 percent decrease in bachelor's and master's degrees awarded to women and a 7 to 8 percent decrease in doctoral degrees awarded to women in their department.

		>, is a stereotype of UML's Collaboration metaclass.
		A stereotype may be a subtype of one or more existing stereotypes (which must all refer the same baseClass, or baseClasses that derive from the same baseClass), UML 1.4 introduces a well-formedness rule for the above and gives an example: A stereotype may be a subclass of one or more existing stereotypes.
		For instance, if a stereotype s with a base class b is defined then a stereotype t that has s as is superclass has either b or any subclass of b as its base class value.

		This is certainly true in computing; consider the number of times that promised software or hardware introductions have been delayed when the promised power of the new product could not be provided on schedule.
		Intoxication with power may also lead one to apply computers to perceived problems not because the computer can help solve the problem, but because a ``computerized'' solution is by definition more valuable than a ``manual'' one.
		The stereotype of the computer ``geek'' who prefers to spend time with the computer he understands rather than the complicated people around him that he can never understand is all too real.

		Stereotypes are seen by many as undesirable beliefs which can be altered through education and/or familiarization.
		Common stereotypes include a variety of allegations about groups based around: race, ethnicity, sexuality, nationality, and religious belief, and also profession, social status and wealth (see social stereotype).
		Media stereotypes change and evolve over time - for instance, we now instantly recognise only a few of the stereotyped characters shown to us in John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, and the stereotypical 1970s effete gay man depicted by John Inman in Are You Being Served?

		Phrasing computing in terms of battle and other stereotypically masculine pursuits, a Kansas man wrote "we have to sit in a chair and 'fight' a compiler/debugger until we win (program runs)" as his explanation for why the field is gendered masculine (003051m).

		For example in the case of fls, the positive stereotype of athletic ability plays into the negative stereotype of not being intellectually advanced; it can also play into various sexual stereotypes about the African American male.
		As for the Asians, their positive intellectual stereotype is often associated with the socially awkward nerd image, a negative stereotype in Western society.

	Coalition to Diversify Computing
		Many students are put off by the popular stereotype of the computer scientist as a lone programmer, toiling away in a cubicle with little human contact.
		Students come away with a broader understanding of computing, a stronger confidence in their own abilities, a decreased sense of isolation within their field, and an increased interest in pursuing similar work in graduate school.
		The Coalition to Diversify Computing (CDC) is a joint organization of the ACM, CRA and IEEE Computing Society (http://www.cdc-computing.org/).

		The point that Lee makes in his editorial is that women since the late 1800's have performed computation and secretarial duties for their male superiors and therefore they can be equated with computers (15).
		There have been many female contributors to the expansion of computing machines and computer science and several of the pioneers of computing technology were female.
		Women during this era were stereotyped as being good programmers because of the need for programmers to be patient, persistent, and detail-oriented (Gurer, "Pioneering Women" 176).
