Adult Entertainment Business Drives Technology

This past week we read about how the technology in general really exploded once the adult business started to capitalize the uses that it offered it. Take for instance the internet, now I'm sure even Al Gore the self proclaimed inventor of the world wide web didn't expect the internet to explode with pornography. However the fact people could access things of an adult nature without having to leave their comforts of their own home should be no shock to anyone in my opinion. 
To me it's no surprise that the porn industry has helped sky-rocket the technology industry, when you look at our society in general sex is what sells. You look at the marketing industry like we have so far in the semester and you have advertisements that have nothing to do with the actually product they're trying to market to the general public. 
I don't feel this will ever change and the reason I say this is because in general I think we are a pretty superficial and materialistic society, there is certainly exceptions to the rule but until we have a society that chooses to not idolize people like Kim Kardashian who is really only famous because of a sex tape that propelled her into stardom, until that changes I believe we will continue on with the status qua.
