If It Wasn’t For Porn, You Wouldn’t Have That Camera On Your Phone

The old sayings “war is the father of all things” and “necessity is the source of invention” come together when we consider internet pornography. It seems a doubtful candidate, but stupendously plain when understood, that pornography should be the driver behind technological innovation on the internet.

For prurient interests have always welcomed emerging technologies so as to reach new audiences in new, ever more non-public, ways. From the invention of photography to the first movies ; from the invention of instant photography to home video; porn has often been the one factor that made sure a technology’s established adoption and success.

Indeed, far from surprising, this fact has traditionally been known to businessmen (and ladies), who’ve attempted to take advantage of pornographic chances in promoting their fresh products. The most noted example of this involves instant photography and instant cameras eg the Polaroid, which freed folk from being forced to go have their film developed and thus exposed to others’ eyes. It was no coincidence that one of the Polaroid company’s earliest models was named The Swinger.

It was ostensibly christened thus on account of a wrist strap which authorized the camera to dangle by one’s hand but in the ’70s, which was a point in time when wife-swapping, open relationships, and swinging were increasingly fashionable and even respectable, this double-entendre would certainly have not gone unobserved.

When it comes to the internet, like it or not we all have porn to thank for the development of such technologies as we enjoy today, from Flash video to streaming video. Referral rings, camera chats, speedier file-sharing, credit card information verification and encryption you say it, and you can generally bet successfully that online porn had a hand in adopting and so marketing it.

Whither, then, the brave new world of online pornography? 3DDD, of course!
