The underlying thread in this article and the report itself is:<p>"Women got the biggest happiness boost from access to technology, particularly those in developing nations, although British women loved the Internet, too."<p>This isn't all that surprising. We know that a fundamental difference between men and women is the way that they communicate and that they value communication in different ways.<p>It makes perfect sense that a woman, or a man who values communication in similar ways would be happier with more ways to express themselves and communicate.<p>Social networking is moving the barrier of communication away personal interaction and onto the Internet. In a time where a singles bar could be replaced with an exchange on Facebook, our values and what makes us happy will significantly evolve.
