Matel have announced Barbies 125th career and guess what? She is a computer engineer. In order to make her really authentic look, Barbie designers worked closely with the Society of Women Engineers and the National Academy of Engineering to develop the wardrobe and accessories. She comes wearing a binary code patterned tee and comes equipped with all sorts of gadgets including a smart phone, Bluetooth headset, and laptop travel bag. To quote Matel “Computer Engineer Barbie is geek chic.”
The folks over at Boy Genius Report even came up with some suggestions of their own. Here are a few…. My pink Cisco routers, chartreuse Barracuda firewalls, and fuchsia Gig-E switches complete with leather bound installation manuals.
