The Unfunniest Joke In Technology

That misogyny is an institutional reality in a field that prides itself on its forward-thinking worldview makes up only half of the absurdity highlighted by Titstare. The rest comes out in the tech industry’s impulse to “disrupt,” which has become so superficial a conceit that it accounts for undesirable inventions that innovate only by successfully developing a previously non-existing thing—though it’s not entirely clear that Titstare even does that much.

A recent study by the market research firm Parks Associates found that women’s technology habits outpace men’s; they buy more devices and are more likely to engage in digital activities such as uploading photos or downloading music.
