Computer
Before robots were computers, people were in charge of performing all of the tasks computers now do for modern society. At one point, computer was an actual job title at NASA. A computer, who was usually a woman, was in charge of crunching numbers and had to have a special gift for making error free mental calculations. Considering how many women were employed as computers, it’s ironic that there isn’t a higher influx of women in technological and computer science careers.
