Question

   Women are now as likely to use the Internet as men―about twothirds of both genders yet a new study shows that gaps remain in what each sex does online.

  American men who go online are more likely than women to check the weather,the news,sports,political and financial information,the Pew Internet and American Life Project reported Wednesday. They are also more likely to use the Internet to download music and software and to take a class.

  Online women,meanwhile,are bigger users of email,and they are also more likely to go online for religious information and support for health or personal problems.

  "For men,it's just, ' Give me the facts, ， " said Deborah Fallows,who wrote the report based on six years of Pew surveys. "For women,it's ' Let's talk about this. Are you worried about this problem?' It's keeping in touch and connecting with people in a richer way."  

  The surveys find that for many activities,such as getting travel information or looking up a phone number,men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.

  A survey from March,for instance,found that 54 percent of online men use the Internet for jobrelated research,compared with 48 percent of female Internet users. A September survey found 94 percent of online women sending email,compared with 88 percent of men.

  Women also were more likely to use email to write friends and relatives about news,worries,advice and planning. They were also more likely to credit email for improving relationships with friends,family and colleagues. Men,on the other hand,were more likely to participate in interest groups,such as fan clubs.
