Women are the new leading demographic in technology

These stats are all from the last year’s article, but they are interesting non-the-less – I don’t think that much have changed since.

Let me break out the categories where women are leading tech adoption:

• Internet usage
• Mobile phone voice usage
• Mobile phone location-based services
• Text messaging
• Skype
• Every social networking site aside from LinkedIn
• All Internet-enabled devices
• E-readers
• Health-care devices
• GPS

Also, because women still are the primary caretakers of children in many places, guess who controls which gadgets the young male and female members of the family get to purchase or even use?
