“Computers, in other words, are complexly socially determined artifacts that interact with existing social formations and tendencies-including sexism, classism and racism-to contribute to the shaping of a gendered society”, (306) says Cythia Selfe, in her essay titled, “Lest We Think the Revolution is a Revolution”. The sectyion my group did talked about the gender gaps between technologies. Women held their own jobs when all of the men were away at war, but once they returned, the women were forced to quit, and stay at home.This took away from some equal learning opportunities for women. “Men use technology to accomplish things; women benefit from technology to enhance the ease of their lives or to benefit their families” (308). Now that women were out of the work force, they used the computers to benefit themselves and their families at home, while men had this opportunity, along with being able to use it in the workplace. Selfe says that technology may have been more originally targeted for men, “Computer games are still designed for boys; computer commercials are stilled aimed mainly at males,” (306).

Selfe is saying that technology is not as threatning as it may come off to be. She is also saying that english teachers are embrassing the technology. Technology should never be our enemy it is always going to grow and become more advanced.
