Have You Noticed More Girls Playing With Your Gadget Recently?

by Perceval Mackendrick

Gizmodo:

A new report from Solutions Research Group hints that the male-dominated era of technology and gadgets may be coming to an end. Some activities, such as using a DVR to record a TV show, or streaming movies or games, are more popular amongst women than men. Gents, has this happened to you? Take the poll, and see just how our favorite British girl geek handles tech stuff in the video after the jump.

I want to say that I hope that more girls don’t tend to be one with technology than boys because I feel that technology is something that only me and my male counterparts should have to share between ourselves, but I am completely wrong. I know it. The only thing that technology is missing are the women. I know that women do have a share of their blogs and sites running, but when looking at technology, you usually don’t see the women seeking their attention over there. (Unless, they are on G4, and mighty hot they are there.)

One other thing is that the more geek girls there are the better for us, the richer they are and the less we have to work to get the money that they make. So, on the hypocritical note that I’m about to make: GO GEEK GIRLS ! Yea.

Just hope these geek girls don’t turn into Mac fans, otherwise all of your money could be spent otherwise.

Some other people have made these comments:

” My wife made the statement that makes it clear why girls are getting into gadgets. “Technology is only good if it brings us closer.” I always thought it was good if you could say “Hold me beer and watch this.” Silly me. “
