Abstract
The Virtual Development Center of the Institute for Women and Technology seeks to significantly enhance the impact of women on technology. It addresses this goal by increasing the number of women who have input on created technology, enhancing the ways people teach and develop technology, and developing need-based technology that serves the community. Through activities of the Virtual Development Center, a pattern is emerging regarding how computing technologies do or do not satisfy the needs of community groups, particularly those communities serving women. This paper describes the Virtual Development Center program and offers observations on the impact of computing technology on non-technical communities.
