Gender Gap

In several recent studies it was found that men spend more time on the internet than women. Women are not far behind men though. Men and women are found to be using the internet for different ways or purposes. It says in the article referred, that men would rather use a site that has several short videos such as YouTube while women would rather use a site with longer videos such as Hulu. This may encourage the thought that women have a longer attention span for one topic on the internet while men like a variety of different topics. From what I have observed while watching others on the internet, men are more likely to be drawn more towards playing a game or looking up scores from the latest football game. While women on the other hand are more interested in shopping and socializing with friends. Men seem to like more interactive sites while women prefer more informative ones.
