Media Representation and Its Effect on Women in Tech

Media often portrays tech roles using a narrow lens, focusing mainly on male characters and reinforcing the idea that technology is a male domain. This lack of diverse representation can diminish young women's interest in tech careers, as they rarely see themselves reflected in these roles. Consequently, cultural perceptions shaped by media can indeed deter women from pursuing tech careers.
