We share stories of remarkable women in the world of technology who inspire us with their contributions and achievements.
The cliché that technology is only a men's business is long overdue. History tells us that the first program was written by a woman. Nowadays, the number of women in technology is growing. They prove that women can be as successful as men.
In Medirent, we appreciate that almost 40% of our team are women. They play important roles and hold various positions, from developers to project managers, from analysts to designers. Their contribution to our success is vital, and we are proud of our talented and professional colleagues. Today, on International Women's Day, we want to share stories of remarkable women in the world of technology who inspire us with their contributions and achievements.
Ada Lovelace - the world's first programmer, who developed an algorithm for use on early computer machines, laying the foundation for the development of programming.
Hedy Lamarr - known as both an actress and an inventor. In collaboration with composer George Antheil, she developed a 'frequency hopping' system for radio-controlling torpedoes, which became a prototype for modern CDMA and Wi-Fi technology.
Grace Hopper - known as the 'grandmother of programming,' she developed the first compiler for a programming language. Also, Grace was a woman who first used the 'bug' term to indicate an error in the program, when a mosquito was trapped in a calculator.
These women are only a drop in the ocean of women's talent and achievements in IT. Add the names and stories of your favorite women in the world of technology in the comments!
