Women Pass Men on AOL

Maybe it's time to rethink the conventional wisdom that the Internet is primarily a man's world. Theodore Leonsis, president and CEO of America Online Studios, said women now make up the majority of AOL subscribers.\n He said Internet users tend to be younger and more educated, on average, than the general population. And the fact that there are more women than men on AOL emphasizes the need to create more content for them. AOL Studios develops original interactive programming for American Online.\n Leonsis said people coming online now are mostly interested in Internet access and e-mail and care little about technological subjects.\n "The only reason people are buying computers today is to get online," he told a computer publication recently. "The next generation computer is, in essence, an Internet terminal."
