The OP is describing what he believes to be an emerging trend. Specifically, he is challenging the stereotype that technology is still a male-dominated market on the consumption side. Part of his argument centers around the fact that because the production side is heavily lined with men, they can be partially blinded to the fact that women are becoming a very important tech market. To piggyback on the above, consumption logically would precede production. Most of those working in technology today had some interest in it prior to their career. If the author is correct, we can probably expect to see the gender gap narrow over the coming years.
