Women accounted for 12 percent of U.S. college graduates in computer science last year, according to the Computing Research Association.
Nonetheless, the term multitasking originally comes out of the computer science literature, and refers to independent computing threads run at the same time.
However, he warned against focussing disproportionately on the eight areas of excellence outlined by the Chancellor in November ("big data" computing, synthetic biology, regenerative medicine, agricultural science, energy storage, space, robotics and advanced materials including nanotechnology).
In his speech, Mr Osborne set out seven further areas where the government thinks Britain is a world leader and can and must go further: computing, synthetic biology, regenerative medicine, agricultural science, energy storage, robotics and advanced materials including nanotechnology.
The announcement was widely welcomed by the computing industry though concerns have been expressed about a lack of specialist computer science teachers.
