Venturing to the heart of Silicon Valley, Hillary Rodham Clinton gently scolded the high-tech industry Tuesday for its male-dominated culture and warned of the downside of its world-changing innovation.

While automation has made lives better, created new industries and increased productivity to the great benefit of the global economy it has also dislocated workers and contributed mightily to the economic anxiety that grips many Americans, she said.

The old jobs and careers are either gone or unrecognizable, Clinton said. The old rules just dont seem to apply, and, frankly, the new rules just arent that clear.

[If] we want to find our balance again, we have to figure out how to make this new economy work for everyone, she said.

Appearing as a keynote speaker at a daylong networking conference for women following weeks of relative reclusiveness Clinton shed no new light on her expected presidential bid. During a question-and-answer session, she passed on an invitation to launch her candidacy before the adoring audience, which cheered every coy reference to 2016.

All in good time, Clinton said. Theres a lot to think about, let me tell you.

That said, the Democrats remarks were a forthright appeal to a pair of vital constituencies she would need to win the White House: the high-achieving professional women thrilled at the prospect of shattering the countrys ultimate glass ceiling, and the less-skilled, low-wage workers who fear technology is rendering them obsolete.

Speaking at the Santa Clara Convention Center, in hailing distance from the headquarters of several tech giants, she lamented the industrys poor track record hiring and promoting women, seizing on Apples famous slogan to urge Silicon Valley leaders to think different.

The numbers are sobering, Clinton said, and she reeled off several: Just 11% of Silicon Valley executives and 20% of software developers are women. A man with a bachelors degree tends to make 60% more than his female counterpart. On the Forbes list of 100 leading tech investors, just four are women.

We can literally count on one hand the number of women who have actually been able to come here and turn their dreams into billion-dollar businesses, Clinton said. Were going backward in a field that is supposed to be all about moving forward.

Hillary Clinton, in Silicon Valley, notes downsides of high-tech industry

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used a personal email account to exclusively conduct official business during her time at the State Department, a move that raises questions about access to the full archive of her correspondence, as well as the possibility that she violated federal law requiring official messages to be retained for the record.

The existence of the account was discovered by the House select committee investigating the deadly 2012 attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and was first reported by The New York Times.

Clinton did not even have a government email address during her tenure as America's top diplomat, which lasted from 2009 to 2013, and The Times reports that her aides took no action to preserve her emails on department servers, as required by the Federal Records Act.

Instead, the paper reports, Clinton's advisers selected which of her emails to turn over to the State Department for archival purposes after going through tens of thousands of pages of correspondence. The department said late Monday that it had received 55,000 pages of Clinton's emails as part of a request made to previous secretaries of state to turn over any official documents they may have had in their possession.

It is not clear how many total emails from that period were in Clinton's personal account, nor is it clear how Clinton's advisers decided which emails to hand over to the State Department.

Nick Merrill, a Clinton spokesman, said the former secretary of state expected that emails to State Department officials -- which she sent to department accounts -- would be preserved. "When the Department asked former Secretaries last year for help ensuring their emails were in fact retained, we immediately said yes," he said. "Both the letter and spirit of the rules permitted State Department officials to use non-government email, as long as appropriate records were preserved."

The fate of emails to foreign leaders, private citizens, and non-State Department officials is unclear.

"The State Department has long had access to a wide array of Secretary Clinton's records -- including emails between her and Department officials with state.gov accounts," State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf told Fox News late Monday. Harf added that the department turned over about 300 emails to the Benghazi select committee, and noted that Clinton's successor as secretary of state, John Kerry, "is the first ... to rely primarily on a state.gov email account."

According to the Times, however, while past secretaries of state often used personal email, updated regulations required such emails to be preserved.

Clinton and her aides reportedly did not follow that requirement at the time -- until her office turned over documents.
