Men and Women on the Internet

Men and Women share many things and yet are always competing for whatever reason, "Battle of the Sexes." In many different aspect, society compares the two when trying to obtain data, Internet use is one of those subjects.

In 2005, the Pew Internet found that men outnumbered women in using the internet. The winning side varied in different ways the internet is used, such as the number of women are greater than men when it comes to communicating through the internet. Whereas, men lean more towards using the web for "recreation."

In comparison, the Tech Desk studies in 2009 found that men are the lesser of the two in internet use.  The site uses information by emarketer.com, a chart depicts the numbers between women and men using the internet.

Not only do the numbers differentiate from gender to gender, but the activities they do on the internet varies as well.  From consumer spending, communicating, sports and/or news, each gender gains higher ground in each. Men are more likely to view and search sports, according to Pew, while women are more content with emailing, and both sexes are equally represented in online buying.
