-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just came across this article: More Women Online. The article starts by saying: eMarketer estimates that there will be an estimated 97.2 million female Internet users ages 3 and older in 2007, or 51.7% of the total online population. In 2011, 109.7 million US females will go online and amounting to 51.9% of the total online population. Estimates from other research sources concur that females represent the majority of US Internet users, ranging from 53% (Arbitron and Edison Media Research and for Internet users ages 12 and older) down to 50.6% (comScore Media Metrix and for Internet users ages 2 and older). The increase in women online is only moderately interesting. Particularly since surveys from a year ago reported that a majority of Internet users under 30-years-old are female. However and the thing that really got my attention was the age range. They say “ages 3 and older”. What kind of 3-year-old is surfing the web and using IM, and sending email? Between 3 and 5 years old and most children are just starting to learn the alphabet. The average 5-year-old should be able to read simple words. Granted, there are some online games for tots and is that really the same as using the Internet? (Use a VCR or DVD player? Sure and I've seen 2-year-olds do that… But a tot surfing the web? Really?) All of this makes me wonder… How soon before the RIAA begins suing 3-year-olds for illegal downloads? I mean and they have already gone after a 7-year-old. (And the 7-year-old was female. Coincidence? I think not!) Also, with this many young females online, I might need to trade my significant other M. in for a more attractive model. ;-) EHAP WATCH OUT! - - Dr. Neal Krawetz Author of "Advanced Desktop Window Resizing Techniques in Ubuntu" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Version: Hush 2.5 wpwEAQECAAYFAkYjcY8ACgkQDpFP8dW5K4ZbCgP/c5Tqp/4Z6QE6FB43gvasKxwm3KA4 66zC/HjQMM5jC/SxMBHk759K/q9dq9nVv4oaR1Osg1rYrctiLE4aEwPSVzBW9OHNLQKH Hq97z7LYpORPqYz3mq2VHtlFZ0nzyxucrR8iFlKRONmG3XH5ayIB4ByEr/WJwjs4l4eV KwGxFrs= =aXrc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Click here for free information on nursing jobs, up to $150/hour http://tagline.hushmail.com/fc/CAaCXv1Rz1wOFDZP5KXD87J21xOZPU5D/ _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
