Women now outspend men on electronic gadgets

Yes it is true:

Women actually spent more on technology last year than men, according to the Consumer Electronics Association. It says women accounted for $55 billion of the $96 billion spent on electronics gear.

Additionally:

* Women are involved in 89 percent of all consumer electronics purchase decisions.

* Eighty-four (84) percent of women believe that new technologies can help improve their lives.

* Forty-eight (48) percent of women age 18-34 own a digital camera.

On the downside, nearly three-quarters complain that sales personnel ignore, patronize, or offend them while shopping.
