Hong Kong: More female than male use Internet in 2009?

It’s not a surprise that Internet usage grows in Hong Kong over time, what’s interesting is that according to a study by HK Internet Project, the number of male Internet users dropped by 2% from 2007-2008.

In 2008, Hong Kong has slightly more female than male with sex ratio of 0.96male/female. And in 2009, estimated sex ratio will be 0.94male/female.

As the growth of social media, Internet is no longer for geeks, and many female internet users are very active on social networks, will the number of male internet users continue to drop in 2009 while more and more female start to engage online?
