Thank you porn! 12 innovations in the world of remote sex trading

Whether 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.

However, you should not assume that in the future porn will not be able to teach the whole world other lessons. The speed of distribution of broadband access and the future of 3G services also, in many respects, depend on the development of virtual porn. But this is all in the future, and here is a list of 12 facts from PCWorld:
