Many women seem to think so.
Seven of 10 working women view technology as a powerful way to even the playing field between the sexes, according to a national survey conducted for Avon Products. The survey also shows that women aren't nearly as afraid of technology as some men might think. Penn, Schoen and Berland conducted the survey of 400 women in April. Four out of five women say it's impossible to advance in the job market if you don't know how to use technology. When they do, they're most apt to rely on computers and fax machines.
