Abstract
This article discusses the possibility that changing the arrangement of computer courses, from being associated with technical and mathematical subjects to becoming broader courses based on social subjects and arts as well, would lead to an increase in the proportion of women studying and working in this field. It is also shown that most likely a change in this direction would effect the type of technology that is developed, provided that the methods of work are developed to integrate technical subjects into a whole and involve the users in an equal co-operation. This will make technology more user-friendly and better suited to the needs of the organisation.
