technology and gender

I have seen some experiences where relationship to technology was affected by gender. One of these experiences occurred when I was at my friend’s house. We were playing video games and my friend’s girl friends asked what we were doing. My friend told her how we were playing video games and everything. She laughed and started saying how all guys do is play video games. This made me think about that and how I feel just because of my gender I am associated with video games. Although I do play video games, it is certainly not all I do. I feel that often times someone may think just because you are a male, you automatically play video games. This is not always true. For one, I know some females that like to play video games. However, I have never had an experience where somebody associates females to video games. Also, the statement that all guys play video games and that’s all we do is untrue. I have some friends who do not play games at all and for the most part, video games are just something to keep people entertained.
