Men just love their cellphones
Don't you just love these studies? "What's it with men and their mobiles? "Men use their mobile phones as peacocks use their feathers and male bullfrogs use their croaks: to advertise to females their worth, status and desirability," said researchers in the journal Human Nature, which published the study. According to a new *survey, men's relationship with their mobiles is vastly different from women's: men just love their gadgets and play with them, reports The Times of India. "Technology subserves primal impulses, specifically the impulse to strut. It also suggests that the evolution of technology is driven, not merely by scientific innovations or the demand for heightened worker productivity, but by the social need of people to find novel ornaments and status symbols that distinguish them from the pack. "There's a gender difference in the way they're displayed and used. To women, a phone is just a phone, while men fingered theirs so often, you'd have thought it was, well, a cigar," says the pub study. *The Siemens Mobile Lifestyle Survey 2004 was conducted in nine countries in the Asia-Pacific region. |
