1)There are plenty of women in love with technology. If you want more women to work in the field, work on removing the 12 or so years of conditioning they get before college that technology is something they aren't allowed to like. Get rid of teachers who pressure them out of math and science classes, or who block them from learning science. Pressure a society that tells girls and women, as soon as they're old enough to understand the message, that they don't belong in the technologies as anything but consumers, if that.
2)What women? I'm in love with technology to the extent that I understand it. I never considered entering a scientific field until I quit college the first time and married. Four children later, I was looking around at the people who seemed to enjoy their work, and they were largely doctors - my point of view was limited by the size of the town in which I lived, and by the fact that at the time I didn't know many people who worked in tech. The more I learned, the more I loved. Basic science and medicine gave me both the confidence to explore and the exposure to new technologies to whet my interest.
Technology - what's not to love, right? So, education and encouragement, both things that are more widely available today than when I was making initial education and career choices, are key, IMO.
3)You don't need to "make" women do or feel anything to cause them to be more involved in STEM careers.
You have to remove the biases and obstacles that make it more difficult or less likely for women to take an active role in creating or applying technical knowledge, products, etc.
When I was in high school I discovered only by accident that my school had a computer class. I knew it only because the class took over a room previously used for another purpose. I asked how kids got in that class and was told you had to be chosen for it. And I wasn't one of The Chosen, obviously.
I wasn't told more about the class. I wasn't encouraged to get into the class. No one took my name or asked why I was interested. I was simply dismissed. And I was an honors student. But I owned a vagina, so I guess I didn't qualify.
This was in the 1980s, and right about at the time when a few ordinary people could afford a computer with as much memory as a present-day child's toy. However I was (am) a writer and a school paper reporter. I'd heard these computers had word processors where you could type your stuff and edit it as you type, copy stuff, move it around and other such nifty things. I wanted in on that, but guess what? I got to visit the lab ONCE in four years in high school. For 30 minutes.
Do I think that maybe, just maybe, this choosing process was unfair to me and excluded me from something important that would have benefited me a great deal? I don't think it. I know it.
Women are excluded, discriminated against, passed over, discouraged, or ignored quite a lot. We're socialized to be "nice" and let others step around, over or even on us, and we're not supposed to object. It has changed to some degree... but that doesn't mean a woman who walks into a room full of men every day at work is necessarily seen or treated (or paid) like an equal.
If we really want more women to "do" tech, it's not their lack of "love" for it that's needs changing. It's the way they're brought up, and the way they're treated that needs changing.
4)Depends on the woman. Women are unique creatures with different hobbies, interests, and tendencies. Find out what one woman likes and then you, the seasoned technophile that you are, have the challenge of finding apt tech solutions that fit her interests.
If the solution you present to her gives her a new way to enjoy what she already enjoys, or it makes some task in her life easier, then you have a chance to persuade her to accept one tech solution. Repeat this with a second and a third, and maybe her appreciation for technology will blossom on its own at some point.
5)If you can make somebody fall in "love" with something, then magic it is. It's easier to make somebody interested or even fascinated by something.
Hedy, Lamarr, a legendary Hollywood star and inventor, who set the foundation for modern Wi-fi techongy, is a great example here. And women can easily get jealous for this combination of beauty and intelligence concerning technology. So maybe the next time when you are using wifi with this woman that you want to inpress with with technology stuff, why not mention her name, just casually. Trust me she will look up this name on Wikipedia.
And even though TBBT is a corny sitcom but some stories in it are quite useful in real life. For example, Lenard froze a piece of snow flake from the North Pole with some kind of material that I don't know, and gave it to his girlfriend. I remember she said that it was the most beautiful thing that she can't understand.
So I suggest you creat a connection between Techonology and Beauty. Usually, women fall for beauty.
6)Young girls are given dolls or toys which ask them provide services i.e. makeup but not manufacture anything (make & break and then remake). So encourage them to make & break things instead of dolls and they will become fine engineers later in their life.
7)Show them how photoshop works!!!
PS: All women don't fall for it!! :)
8)Women or men, fall in love with technology , if its solves some of the little problems of life. Here's what you can do:
1. Ask her to use bookmyshow / IRCTC / airline apps to understand how these things are nowadays done simply.
2. If you have loads of cash, rent a high bandwidth internet connection and be connected with her when SHE wants.
3. Ask her to track you on GPS through Google Maps :)
4. If you still have some money left, ask her to shop from her mobile :)
5. Last but not least, ask her to download some health apps to be motivated for a killing figure!!
9) Tell women some useful point of technology which they know well. Ask her to track you on Gps through Google map. Show them how Instagram works
