Funny IBM Hack a HairDryer Tweet

Only a couple of years ago, IBM put out a call to women in science and technology to ‘hack a hairdryer’.

The aim was to encourage young females into tech.

Because clearly hacking a hairdryer would be more interesting and, er, relevant to them than something more boyish.

Such as, um, car engines or space flight.

IBM is the company behind Watson, and I wish they’d consulted their own vast AI technology to see what Watson would have recommended.
