    imageWhether you like it or not, the success of any widespread media format in this world is partly due to tireless porn dealers. VHS, Blu-Ray (HD DVD), DVD - all this has become widespread largely due to the fact that people prefer to trade "screen sex" in step with technology. This also includes the Internet, which has learned a lot from the techniques of porn industry.

    If you think I'm joking, I advise you to think a second time. Not only the network, in its current understanding, has become such because of the abundance of female charms anywhere. PC World Magazineput together a list of 12 things you can thank porn for. Everything from online payment systems, real-time video chats to spam, has been popularized by companies involved in the production and distribution of pornographic content.
