BBC NEWS | UK | Girls 'more skilled on computers'

Just one more thing in a long list that we're better at

Geezer

Indeed, like ironing, cooking, washing, getting us beer.......

The list is quite extensive

Geezer

SiPie

Notice they are talking about children

Think we all know that girls develop quicker

Just a shame they stop and then seldom progress any further

Odds on

They obviously didn't include my wife. She got so angry not being able to control the mouse while playing an FPS game she threw it in a paddy and claimed it was impossible!

Ah well, anyone fancy a game of Team Fortress 2

Simon C

So in my company, out of a team of 12 why are only 2 of them female??

P1Fanatic

Probably as the boys busy playing games rather than learning what they should be.

I certainly dont know many women who I would call proficient on a PC i.e configuring a router, troubleshooting connectio problems, building their own pc's. I work in IT and the ration of male:female in tech jobs is prob 25:1 in my department.

you should see my other half use a computer. It is a cross between the spethial kid at the back of the bus and katherine tate watching her get into a paddy with the laptop.

no doubt that report was compiled by dungaree wearing, tache lipped munter

Girls are better at winding men up by posting confirmation that they are indeed better than men at something that has been previously considered to be a male dominated field

Geezer

2 floor's of IT bods here and only about are 10 women. Must admit they are very tecnical, couple are DBA's the rest look after server builds, RFC's etc. My wife knows nothing about PC's but is very good with word/exel etc - she can type and keep an eye on her team at the same time

I do that , far too technical for her. She is best at the posing


I wonder where sal has gone..maybe the stress of wondering how to close that little red x in the corner of the window has brought on another migraine, that can only be fixed with some new boot shopping

I was just playing around with some theories about quantum physics on the back of my shopping list

A few previous female friends of mine were hopeless on the computer so i dont believe that article for a moment.

Clarebabes

LOl, so you base your whole attitude to women and computers on "a few previous female friends"?

It's just as well I haven't based my whole attitude to Scottish people on just one, isn't it?

Shark Man

Two levels here IMO;

Women are better at USING a computer.

However men are better at programming, building, configuring, diagnosis and fixing the damn things


Give a women a DVD-ROM disc with a greasy fingerprint on the underside and she's stuffed

ScoobyDoo555

Well, it's all electrical-related int it?

After all, what the prophet DCI Gene Hunt say last night?
"How many feminists does it take to change a light bulb?"
"Two: One to run around screaming, and the other to **** the electrician"....

Kinda similar

We have ladies who are good with computers but all the hardcore techies are male.
