Without pr0n, video technology would suck.

Most popular searches on the internet since it began in 1970? sex and porn

First, largest, and most profitable e-commerce sector? Porn of course.

Rumor even has it that the reason VHS won the format wars was that Sony wouldn't allow Betamax to be used for porn distribution.

Original motivation for creation of the JPEG image format? Reducing the bandwidth used by alt.sex.pictures. (wow, did that backfire!) The first MPEGs were also almost all porn, and ended up being used for DVD compression 15 years later.

The reason for a DVD format with chapters you can access randomly rather than just sequential? jumping to the good scenes in pr0n (yes, this is the real intended purpose)

Who will really decide the battle between HD-DVD and Blu-ray? pornographers

1st application for 3rd generation cell phones that could display pics & video: pr0n

What I'm still wondering is, why are there not more 3D porn games?

pr0n was also the content driving early sales of VCRs, so without pr0n there would be no cheap VCRs and none of their successors: laserdiscs, DVDs, DVD recorders.
