Does This Click With You?

April 13th 2007 03:32
Hmmm...came across this whilst searching for Larkham photos information on an opinion piece I'm writing (for another publication...and I got sidetracked re the photos...) about cyber personalities.

Apparently, women don't click as much as men do.

Hmm.....so much fun to be had with that statement....but I shall refrain.

Will click off the switch....


What do you think?


from www.reuters.com

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Women prefer the remote over the mouse when it comes to watching videos even though they outnumber men in cyberspace.


About 97 million women in the United States will use the Internet this year compared with 91 million men, according to a study by eMarketer.

But the report also says only 66 percent of those women are watching videos online compared to 78 percent of men.

"Men are more visual than women, who tend to communicate in writing and or in words," said Debra Aho Williamson, senior analyst with eMarketer and the author of the report.

She said at first she was shocked at the disparity between the sexes

She was??

...because women tend to watch more television. But she argues men are generally ahead of the technology trend.

"Women are more likely to use the Internet to get things done, to accomplish tasks, to check something off of a checklist that they need to do," Williamson said.

"Men are more likely to use the Internet to have fun. And a lot of what you see on youtube.com is silly, time-saving kinds of things that maybe women don't feel they have the time for, or don't want to have the time for."


Williamson said that despite the growth of youtube.com, women have not been part of the site's traffic spike.

Please note the lack of quips.
This is a big thing for me.

Dusk ...

I can relate to what you've written from this perspective ...

When it comes to getting practical things done? I'm bloody hopeless ... Completely and utterly bloody hopeless ...

Without a woman in my life to attend to practical things? ... Or force me to attend to them? ... I'll just resign myself to being bloody hopeless ...

Not all men are like me ... There are some amazingly practical men out there ... I'm just not one of them ...

And no quips?

David ...

Men are more likely to use the Internet to have fun
As so that's what we're calling 'surfing for porn' these days.

From what I can see with these statistics, both women and men need to get out more and get a life!!

She said at first she was shocked at the disparity between the sexes
