Why Young Males Are No Longer the Most Important Tech Demographic

An anonymous reader writes "The Atlantic has an article discussing how 18- to 35-year-old males are losing their place as the most important demographic for tech adoption. '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, and 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?' The article points out that most of the tech industry hasn't figured this out yet — perhaps in part to a dearth of women running these companies."

This is hardly news

This is hardly news, and it seems like geeks are offended by normal people using the internet. In fact, normal people are the ones that obviously use internet more, while the geek keeps eating chips and cola in his parent basement.


Judging by TV series and Slashdot, U.S. doesn't seem to have very good men-to-women ratio on IT work. However, this is completely different in other parts of the world. Especially in Asia where students and women actually really want to work in IT and are good at it.


On top of that, women tend to more productive, even if they play Farmville during work time. Men do the same - they just play some other games, watch porn or talk about sports with their colleagues. On IT field it has been discovered that women's ability to multitask is a significant bonus. Men can only concentrate on one thing at a time. If something else happens, they get distracted. This is why you sometimes see people complaining about instant messages and emails during work - they cannot multitask.


Now that aside, there is a third gender which is basically all the good parts of men combined to good parts of women - transponders, or like they are called over here, ladyboys. They are honest, hard-working, cute and great to chat with. And they look good! I had an one night stand with one ladyboy and forgot around $100 to her home. Next time I saw her she promptly gave it back, even while I didn't have so good memory of it. Honest, hard working people.

There was a study that there are about 4% of the population that are true multi-taskers. The tests were done regarding cell phone talking and driving. I do believe that a small group can do more than one task at a time, such as typing this message and holding a conversation.

Fuck women

So, let me get this straight.
The bitches bitch about being under-represented in the tech industry.
They bitch rudely about booth babes.
They bitch about companies that use hawt female models to sells products.

NOW once somebody figures out they are the most important tech demographic, it's A OK to pander
to the bitches.

LETS ALL START MAKING TECH ADS WHERE THE MAN IS A BUMBLING IDIOT LIKE
IN OTHER INDUSTRIES.

Then, these fucking misandric bitches can say "Fuck you, men, we are the #1 tech demographic,
it's ok to appeal to our vaginas"

Right. Women and their fucking equal rights. Equal rights and special treatment.

Soon, all computers will come with a free dildo and THAT'S JUST FINE!

Fucking cunts. Women are the most unfair of human beings. They are self-entitled
bitches that can only thing me me me me me me me me.
They have ruined EVERY single industry there is, and now with the "brogrammer"
campain they are seeking to destroy one of the last bastions of normality.

What's next, quotas for the bitches? FUCK YOU WOMEN, YOU ARE NOTHING
MORE THAN A VAGINA AND AN OBNOXIOUS MOUTH.

FUCK YOU!
