Tech is the girl new best friend
What do women want? A question asked by millions of men. Diamonds are out and plasma TV are new in thing for women.
The Girls Gone Wired survey of 1400 women and 700 men aged 15 to 49, found that more than three quarters of women would choose a plasma TV over a diamond solitaire necklace. The survey was commissioned by the Oxygen Network, a female owned and operated cable TV channel.
Could that be anyway related to diamonds being more common and cheaper and thus less exclusive? OR could the myth of women being clueless with tech just a myth? Let's see what else the survey uncovered.
- On average, women own 6.6 technology-driven devices while men have 6.9
- 80 percent of women feel comfortable with new technologies
- Nearly half of the 1,400 women surveyed perform their own computer trouble-shooting procedures
- 86 percent would prefer a new digital video camera to a pair of designer shoes.
- More than half of the female respondents would pick a plasma TV over a two-day vacation in Florida
I must say that I am surprised by some of the results. Not that I think women are incapable of utilising technology, but I would have thought they would prefer shoes to a Sony Handycam. Well, well this only shows how out of touch I am with the whims of women.
The old flame and new love.Technorati: technology, women.
