Diversity seeds creativity and it\u2019s possible that women approach the development of tech in slightly different ways that, when combined with others\u2019, helps produce a more powerful Internet. It\u2019s why having more women in tech, and recognizing and celebrating their accomplishments that began over a century ago and continue today, is vital to producing a more powerful future.<\/p>\n<p>The first great example is from 1843, when the now-famous Ada Lovelace published instructions for the world\u2019s first computer program.
