GENDER ROLES IN CYBERSPACE
According to the first World Wide Web User Study (GVU 1994), 150,000 new people were logging on each month. More than half of the users were between the ages of 21 and 30, with 94% being men. (Sorenson 1997) In the following years the gap between male and female users has declined, settling in the most recent tenth user study (GVU 1998) calculating a 66.4% male user ratio to a 33.4% female user ratio.
