According to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive for Wellgate for Women, ninety-six percent of women who work in an office claim to like or love their computer, with the average woman spending nearly triple the amount of time daily with her computer than she spends with her significant other (9.3 hours compared to 3.6 hours).
(You can read the press release here :) )

What we find interesting is that when it comes to our closest friends, usually the woman is the one who blames the husband for spending more time with the computer…not mentioning the time spent at the computer during working hours.
So, starting from this topic we conducted an internal survey at our offices. This is what we found out :)

100% claimed that men spend more time at the computer at home. Two thirds claimed that women are more addicted to specific topics (tabloids, shopping, music, etc) then men. All agreed that a woman can stay longer without a computer.
We conducted this instant survey in all offices from the building and we asked simple questions like `At home, who spends more time at the computer, you or your husband/wife?`, `Which one of you is more addicted?` and other polemics which can`t be reproduced here :)

In the end, what is the truth? Do women spend more time on the computer instead of their families? Or the men are `the main subject` in this issue?

What do you say? How is it at your home/close friends?
