Women like tech toys more than shoes? Huh?

August 11, 2006 by rockportrait 

In what I view as a great example of why the American culture is still absolutely nothing like the Aussie one (and I dearly hope that we can stop the horrible slide down that path), USA Today posted this article.

USA Today – Study

They claim that 75% of their study group would choose a TV over a diamond necklace, or a high-end cellphone over designer shoes. Just over 50% would choose a little white iPod over a little black dress.

The vast majority of women I’ve met really don’t understand the beauty of technology (just like us men can’t see the point of a wardrobe full of shoes!). This news out of the States, combined with the recent Telstra debacle over broadband in Australia, delivers the crushing blow that we Australians are the Neanderthals of the technological world. If I wasn’t so scared to fly these days, and every other country in the world wasn’t so horrible, I’d be outta here in a flash!

    I have no idea what they are. I just grabbed a random image that I liked from a Google Images search.
    Why don’t you try contacting the company to see if they make them?
