There may still be a gender gap in the adoption of technology, but it may not be what you think:

In a couple of cases, women are embracing new technologies faster than men.

"The good news is that women are closing the gap," said Genevive Bell, a cultural anthropologist who works for chipmaker Intel. Overall, women are using technology nearly as often as men, Bell said, but they are using it differently.

In a Harris Interactive survey commissioned by Intel, women were more enthusiastic about Wi-Fi than men, and they said they planned to use it in different ways. More women said they considered Wi-Fi to be a key feature in a new laptop.

"It's one of the first times, if not the first, that women have been the early adopters of a technology," Bell said.

Women and men want wireless access in airports, but more women than men said they want wireless Internet access in their doctors' offices and at salons.
