Tech Companies Finally Realize That Women Buy A Lot Of Gadgets
from the took-'em-long-enough dept
Some of us have been pointing this out for years, but technology and gadgets aren't just for guys. Women dig gadgets too. In fact, women now account for (hey, look at that!) 50% of technology purchases these days, and it appears that various technology companies have finally realized this and are starting to do things like advertise in women-targeted media. What's scary is that it took these tech companies so long to realize that technology wasn't just for guys, and that plenty of women are interested in technology and have plenty of purchasing power.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

It has more to do with than credit cards
Women in today's work place have heard their entire life how men make more money doing then same job as us (no I don't want to start this debate, it is just a statement). So especially in the work place even if we don't work in the technology field, we have to appear "up" on the latest thing. Showing a level of knowledge in the new gizmos and gadgets helps.
(And now for a bit of humor) Plus women always have been better shoppers; men work harder…we work smarter.
