Women have developed a stronger affinity for technology than men. Shocking? But true! Tablets, smartphones and laptops form the top layer of the most popular consumer electronics. Guess what? Women are found to be more likely to buy these as compared to men.

The above statistics clearly reflect a paradigm shift in the technology purchase decisions; however, ease of use apparently seems to be the most important determinant in making such decisions.
Women are now more inclined towards latest gadgets. What’s more interesting about this piece of information is that after the purchase decision, a woman has been observed to be overly engrossed in exploring their devices and performing all digital media activities as compared to the male counterparts. On probing deeper into this, the most important reason for this shift is the natural, inherent communicative and interactive nature of the female species. So, this latest gizmo entertainment has further fueled this passion.
If you take a glance at the consumer electronics products sale of the last year, you’d find that 88% women purchased technology products, whereas only 83% men did so. Also, the latest online social and mobile gaming trends reflect women participating more than men.
Well, these changing trends certainly dispel the myth that women are technology-weak species. Do you agree?

Well, seems like you have done a good research about the facts presented in your blog. Also I do agree that these changing trends certainly dispel the myth that women are technology-weak species.
But wait a minute, suddenly the screen of there gadget goes all black “No Display !@#$%” or the Wi-Fi is out “No Internet !@#$%”.
Guess whom do they run to for an immediate fix —> The male species.
Well, these changing trends certainly cannot dispel the fact that men are not the technology-left-behind species. Do you agree?

@Abhsihek: Thanks a ton for acknowledging that females are not technology weak!
This post is certainly not inspired by women liberation ideology; it’s just to throw some light on the fact that as-it-seems so, women are not the technology-left-behind species. And yes, we can never dispel facts (men are not the technology-left-behind species) since these are not the “myths to be debunked”. Do you agree? 😉 😉
