In response to Coppersmith’s Chapter 1 Article:

I found the statistics surrounding the pornography industry very interesting.  I had no clue that the pornography business was such a profitable one.  I also found it very interesting that the pornography industry is directly related to the rise in technology.  The VCR, DVD and personal computer all gained popularity because of the pornography industry.  I also didn’t know that with the invention of the camcorder. came the rise of Do It Yourself pornography.  Weather this was one of the intended uses of the camcorder, or not, Do It Yourself pornography has skyrocketed the sales of camcorders.  Weather intended, or not, DIY porn has become a major pastime of sex-interested citizens.

The major point this article was trying to make was that the pornography industry is directly related with new technologies, and that people interested in porn will try out new technologies faster than non-porn interested peoples will.  People who are interested in porn are more likely to experiment with new technologies that relate to porn, than other peoples are.  Technology and porn have been directly related for some time now, and they will continue to stay connected as long as new technologies make way for new types and mediums for pornography.
