Women are "Clueless" About Technology (Survey News)
A poll of 2,000 people found almost seven in 10 would ask a man for technical advice and one in five would refer to the internet, compared to only one in 10 who said they would consult a woman.
It showed 55 percent think women are ‘clueless’ when it comes to technology and almost two fifths believe men are more "naturally attuned" when it comes to the subject.
The research, carried out by technology company TechGuys, found seven in 10 of women questioned would also turn to a man for advice rather than a woman.
Tim Fairs, of TechGuys, said: "Traditionally technology has always been seen as the man’s domain, much like DIY used to be, and it seems this isn’t going to change anytime soon. It’s interesting that women are just as guilty as men when it comes to this.
"We are an equal opportunities employer, and always on the lookout for female TechGuys as we know that some of our customers may feel more comfortable letting a woman into their home, but it’s rare that we ever receive an application from a woman."
Last month it was reported that men prefer websites designed by men while women prefer those designed by women.
According to the new study from Bucks New University, it found men preferred designing and using websites with dark colours, straight lines, little detail and regular typography. Women tend to prefer more colour and detail as well as unusual typography.
