While guys thought the women in their lives were out shopping for clothing, the women were shopping – for electronics. The figures are in, and apparently women buy more gadgets than men do. Not only do they buy more, they use them more. Surprise!

Gone are the days when women could only be found at the cosmetics stores. They’re breaking out of the mold left for them by their mothers, and taking the female psyche into the 21st century.

“The study also found that women are engaging with technology more than men across the board. In 2012, women bought an average of 4.7 electronic devices compared to 4.2 products for men. Plus, once women buy tech products they tend to use them more heavily. Women are more likely to watch movies online, download music, and play games on Facebook.”

About Eileen Rivera

Eileen was born in The Bronx, to Puerto Rican parents. She grew up thinking the whole world was Latino. Moving to Rockland County in upstate New York taught her it wasn’t. One more move in 1976, brought her to Hudson County, New Jersey where she currently resides. She attended Rutgers-Newark where she majored in Social Work with a minor in Puerto Rican studies. Eileen credits her history professor, Dr. Olga Wagenheim, for the spark and impetus to search out her roots in a pre-computer era. The daughter of a minister, she credits her father for the activism, volunteerism and search for justice that have characterized her adult years.

The mother of two adult daughters, Eileen has worked in the Juvenile Justice system for twenty-eight years. She acts as a liaison between the Juvenile Detention Center and the Juvenile Court.

Writing was something she shared with family. Stories and songs for her children and Christmas tales for the extended family. She now shares her writing with a larger family, the Being Latino family.
