Technology industry still has problems with sexism – Nyheter24

Nyheter24 in place during CES in Las Vegas.

On Tuesday opened CES is finally up properly when everyone was given access – and the definite feeling was that everyone was there. To call the show for “popular” is to operate and to say that it’s easy to get around is to exaggerate.


Vilket naturally also means that the different exhibitors tagged up. Solidly. And that’s where you can see the width. Sure, it’s fun to go by Toshiba and look at their new super-spectacle (a bit dreary), or to look at Sony’s new super-thin 4K displays (quite impressive).


But there is almost everything else that makes it worthwhile. Smaller places where drones flying around, where some excited talk about why their headphones are better than everyone else even though no one listens.


Or, for that matter presents a high-tech pot or what is touted as the world’s best massage chair.

Not because it’s something to laugh about, however. Above all, do not massage chair that Nyheter24 hereby without much doubt (or knowledge of the subject) confirms is the world’s best. It’s a bit like getting ten different massages at once.


So what is it that visiting CES? Well, stereotypical enough, most of the visitors males in their “best years”.

Which sadly is reflected in the way that many, especially the smaller ones, choose to market their diverse products. “Selling gadget with girl” is absolutely nothing strange at CES. It is rather the norm, and further proof that the technology industry still has a bit to wander.

doubted whether it can walk around and listen to some of the jargon of those who pass the different exhibitors. “Ho-ho-level” is sky high.

Something that made the finish of the day when Intel CEO Brian Krzanich during an acclaimed key note speech announced that the company will add large amounts ($ 300 million) to make more room for women and underrepresented minorities in the gaming industry even more refreshing.
