Face it, Porn drives the industry. It was the first media widely available on CD, when CD drives first appeared on the home PC. You couldn’t buy much software, Hollywood hadn’t even considered this media as a possibility - but Porn was there.

Internet ... along with the first dial up Bulletin Boards, there were sites for Porn.

DVD? Yup, porn.

Virus, Trojans and Worms .... yup, porn too.

On the bright side, the side-effects of the Porn industry is that the demand for their products have made technological advances popular, and driven the price down so the average consumer can easily afford them. Those CD/DVD drives that are now standard, the internet, and all the bad things that go with them - got their start through porn.

Why would we expect these new “Glasses” to be any different?

I agree that technology and porn go together. However, I don’t think that porn drives the technology. The porn industry is just usually the first to take advantage of the technology. Most technology has a myriad of applications that do not involve porn and that is what drives its development.

And don't forget VHS tapes.... And the VHS tape rental industry. And now the movement from physical media (tapes, dvds, bluray) to Internet streaming. The new Netflix streaming business model came directly from the porn industry.
