As technology changes and evolves, it has an effect on every part of our lives, which makes us even better at what we do every day.<\/p>\n

However, while the term “technology” implies innovation and development, job stats continue to reveal a gender disparity, particularly among women.<\/p>\n

In the science and technology fields, there are still far fewer women than men. But this gap is getting smaller.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of the most influential women in the field of technology.<\/h4>\n

Ada Lovelace<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ada is sometimes referred to as the “world’s first computer programmer” because of her contributions to computer programming.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Feinler:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Inventor of the Search Engine – From 1972 to 1989, Elizabeth headed the Network Information Center in California, which operated in a manner similar to a “pre-historic Google.” The NIC was the first organization to produce Internet resources and directories, pioneering the “white pages” and “yellow pages” directories. Additionally, her group devised the domain naming strategy for.com,.edu,.gov, and.net, among others that we use so frequently today.<\/p>\n
