How To Be A Geek Goddess

Men and women rarely think alike, and when it comes to technology, their differing wants and needs are often glaringly apparent. If we are to believe the stereotypes, men are obsessed with acronyms and the size of their hard drives. On the other hand, women use technology to get things done as they struggle to work, shop, email, raise children, and host perfect dinner parties, all at the same time.

How To Be A Geek Goddess shows every woman how to sort out the complicated world of technology. Whether she’s buying a computer, shopping for a cell phone, trolling electronics aisles, or simply surfing the Internet, How To Be A Geek Goddess makes sense of it all with wit, intelligence, and attitude. “This book proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Christina Tynan-Wood totally gets where men and women divide in terms of technology,” said Jonna Gallo Weppler, senior editor at Family Circlemagazine. Weppler praised How To Be A Geek Goddess as a “comprehensive, easy-to-understand guide” and advised readers to “buy this book now.”

“I decided to write this book so that I could answer the questions my girlfriends asked me about technology all at once,” explained author Christina Tynan-Wood. “Women are working, raising kids, taking care of parents, and running businesses as well as homes. They need time-saving and organizing tools, but they also need to grasp technology in order to help their kids navigate it.”

With practical, clear, and down-to-earth insight, readers learn how to:

• Buy the right computer to fit their needs, decor, and budget 
• Surf the Web with confidence, organize schedules, and manage finances
• Master email, cell phones, and instant messaging
• Keep family members safe from spyware, viruses, stalkers, and phishing scams
• Connect with friends, grow their professional networks, or find that special someone online

How To Be A Geek Goddess will show readers how to expertly join the Web conversation, start a blog, and solve many common technical crises. “This book is as much a manifesto on female techno-empowerment as it is a book on how to use technology,” explains Tynan-Wood. In no time at all, readers will become the tech-savvy girlfriend on all of their friends’ speed dials.
