[Atari]

Young women are now the most dominant group online in the UK, according to new research from net measurement firm Nielsen/NetRatings. The BBC News has the story.

"This represents a seismic shift from the early days when the internet was the domain of the techno-geek," said Alex Burmaster, an analyst with Nielsen/NetRatings. "If you asked the question 'who spends the most time on the computer' - most people would still answer 'men'," he added.
