Last Ditch Gift-Giving for Techy Ladies

There are only two good reasons to ever be last-minute gift shopping for a tech lover. 1) You’ve been racking your brain for ideas but drawing a complete blank, so now you’re buggin’ out or  2) You forgot to purchase something, and you’ve just realized it, so you need a gift, and you need it now. Whichever reason brings you here, one thing is for sure: we’ve got you. These three approaches are sure to keep you out of the present-giving dog house.

Consumer Tech’s Missed Opportunity

Consumer Tech’s Missed Opportunity

Consumer tech products are all anyone seems to talk about these days. From the annual ritual of new phone announcements, to the ever-expanding wearable and app arenas, it’s clear that tech is the new black.

Yet there's something the Consumer Electronics industry has yet to fully capitalize on today: developing products for women. Very few tech products have been created specifically with women in mind.
