The modern day technology has witnessed a severe gender divide. Men and women evidently have different approaches when it comes to dealing with technology and related problems. Men treat technology as something to be understood and conquered while women are more motivated by appliances that benefit them.

According to a gadget helpline, 64 per cent male and 24 per cent female callers do not read the instruction manual before calling up and 12 per cent of male and 7 per cent of female customers need only plug in or turn on their appliances.

The survey showed that women spent 32 percent longer on the helpline call than men - but 66 percent of the helpline staff preferred speaking to women. Getting gadgets to communicate with each other was the subject of a large number of requests for help. Syncing one gadget with another causes maximum problems.
