UK study: 75% Of Women Don't Know How To Use Gadgets
Posted: Thu Jul 13, 2006 7:34 am
UK electronics store Comet performed a study on 1000 customers
Their study says that 75% of women don't know what they're doing when it comes to mobile gadgets.
The study says these women only know how to handle the basic functions of a phone like making calls and using an address book.
They also are confused by cameras and MP3 players, and 7/10 of them ask their partners or children to show them how to do stuff like download music to their devices.
the study also said men cared about what the specs and features are, but women just wanted to know why a device is useful and what it could do for them. Men spend hours going over instructions and women just bust in and use stuff (and then get discouraged when things don't work).
