Men use
computers
more than
women
There is still a gender split in
the use of IT, according to a
survey.
In the nationwide study only a
third of women said they felt
extremely confident using new
technology, compared to 56%
of men.
Men make up two-thirds of IT
users, spending more than 10
hours per week on-line.
Men also play games more
than women - with 61% of
male PC owners playing
interactive games compared to
45% of female owners.
The study by the Work
Foundation's iSociety found
over half of UK adults own a
personal computer, 74% own
mobile phones and 41% live in
homes with digital TV.
It also revealed that 93% of 16
to 24-year-olds have sent a text
message, compared to only
10% of over-65s.
Only one in five PC owners is
over the age of 65, and twothirds of those in this age-group
believe there is "too much
technology to keep up with".
