Women and technology

I'm not sure if it's just me, in fact I know it's not, but women and technology just don't go. Take for instance this blog. Hours spent figuring out how to set it up and it's still pretty basic (I'm working on it)!
It's not just blogging, any equipment that requires an 'on' 'off' switch makes us tremble - not every woman I hear you scream. But honestly they call them boys toys for a reason. Like YORKIE bars - it's not for girls.

One thing I must admit though...

When it comes to on-line shopping it is a totally different story.....

Ode to online shopping. we are great in it, isn't it??
ehehe
anyway, you'll see you will improve your blogging skills soon. it's just a matter of getting used to it.
And if it helps, when my boyfriend started his blog, he was always asking me how to make things work coz he was not understarstanding how to make things work! hihihih
(and he gave up after 10 posts...)

LOL, ok, I will scream it at the top of my voice: THAT IS NOT SOOOO!!! WE GIRLS ARE GEEKS ALSO!!!!
I am the technology freak, specially internet, in all my relationships and have had to help my boyfriends with stuff all the time. So seriously, I don't think you are right, there are as much guys as girls that don't have any idea of technology, at least from what I have observed. See, if you talk about hanging a painting or fixing a water pump then you might have something, but I think we actually subconciously let them believe they are better at something so that they won't feel bad and feel useful :-P

haha I suppose you do have a point - women have to let men feel useful sometimes! I don't mean to offend anyone which is why I said not every woman - but seriously if you met some of the people I have you'll wonder how they get out of bed let alone anything else!!
Give me a pen and paper any day over technology x
