Trawling ./ today, I came across this article, which linked to this article by The New York Times. It seems that according to various bodies in the US (you can read the article), the percentage of women in Computer Science is declining. Every so slightly, but it's declining.

Do you think this trend is worrying? The article mentions other career paths are more promising, like web design and games. Is this really a problem?

I think any trend leading to decline is worrying. However, don't forget to put it in perspective - is the overall trend (men and women) declining too?
