Who really makes technology accessible?
I know I haven’t been posting as often. Let’s face it, there are too many gadgets out there. In the hopes of making a better quality site, I will focus my energies more on quality vs quantity. Which means more indepth coverage of the latest tech gear and the impact it can have on us, or lack thereof.
So on that note, I will start this discussion.
I have been pondering this question this past week, and I have come up with the answer. It’s not Intel. It’s not Apple. It’s definitely not Microsoft. It’s PRON! (no, that isn’t a typo). I keep trying to think about what really pushes technology and what makes it become standard, or at least more accessible, and the only constant in each category was the adult film industry.
Going back to the good old days of yore, when videotapes just started coming out, who really made the technology blossom? We’d all like to think that it was because we were now able to record shows and watch them at our own convenience, or watch blockbuster movies at home. Well folks, sorry to burst your bubble. The biggest reason why video became such a huge hit and what made it accessible was…you guessed it.
Jump to the future to the mid 90’s and what was the new technology? Streaming video over the internet. This actually ushered in 3 different technologies. The internet. The webcam. Broadband internet. At first this technology was really just for enthusiasts and people who wanted to chat with video…ho hum. But then someone had the bright idea of putting up a webcam in some girls dorm and BAM! All of a sudden, people were logging on and…logging off. Many people went from the slow dial ups, upgraded to 56Kbps modems, and the ultimate was getting either cable modem or dsl. Man, that was the cream of the crop, especialy if you could get it or ISDN. Either way, it allowed for all of us…er, all of…fine, us, to watch multiple cams at the same time and at higher refresh rates.
And now, who will pave the road to video on your cell phone? Yup. You guessed it.
How do they do it? It’s obvious. The adult industry looks at how they can exploit new technologies. They aren’t scared of trying out new things, new positions, or new tricks, unlike some of their other brethren. Plus they know that they fill a need and wants. Even though most people I know don’t like to admit that we don’t watch it, we all know we do. It’s people like us that are the true early adopters that help bring the costs down of each new technology development so that it then becomes accessible to everyone else. Think about it. The adult film industry isn’t a multi-BILLION dollar industry because no one watches porn.
So let’s thank our fellow man and computer nerds for making all of these great technologies accessible!
