To cries of ‘surely not’ from men everywhere, a new survey has revealed that women are more practical when it comes to gadgets than men. The survey, conducted by the Gadget Helpline, found that women tended to be more practical when it came to gadget related problems than men, and were more inclined to simply read the instructions rather than rely on their supposed genetic ability to fix technological issues.
The gadget helpline had found that 64 per cent of the men calling up had failed to read the instructions before calling them up, almost three times the percentage of women who called without reading. Before any of you blokes start to question the validity of this data, consider the fact that the gadget helpline has 120’000 subscribers, so the data can be said to be accurate.
The one shred of dignity to be found for the male race in all this, is that 17 per cent of all female actually turned out to have nothing wrong with their gadget, as opposed to only 9 per cent of men. According to the site the busiest time of year for gadget related enquiries is boxing day, as people struggle to work their newly gifted Christmas presents.
