More Women in IT Field

I was thinking lately why aren't there more woman in the IT technology field?

From all the sectors of technology, it is a very male dominated sector. If you look around, there are many other women in IT industry whether in the planning department, business or consultancy but they don’t prefer to choose IT sector as their first priority. Why not?

In many interviews we see women applicants are about 1 to 2% as compared to men. May be women are not that much techno-lovers and interested in IT support field as compared to men. But then I believe in today’s world even children have access of iPhone,  internet and smart phones so why not women. Whatever the reason, I, as a techno geek would love to add people who want to be a part of IT sector, regardless of their gender. What you think?
