It's amazing how porn really affects everything in subtle ways. If you don't really watch it, discuss it, or even know what the trends are, it's really confusing, because it seems like every technology is largely driven by porn.
In the past it seemed like the tech that came from it was great, the rest of us got higher resolutions to watch regular movies.
But now that there's way more non-porn drivers of consumer tech, it doesn't seem like anything interesting is coming from it.
I suspect the privacy at all costs culture we have(As opposed to the previous way of thinking where the internet was pretty much a public place, and fingerprinting wasn't really considered serious) is partly because of porn.
Which actively holds back adoption of new tech like IoT and new browser features, because nobody wants even a vague chance they might leak history or get hacked to listen in a bedroom, they'd rather not have the tech at all.
And of course, cryptocurrency.
Plus VR, which I'm not entirely sure will ever be as big as normal gaming and so far is pretty disappointing(The normal kind, I've never seen the porn kind) AR is a lot more interesting.
The FOSS scene is so negative on the idea of connecting everything and making tech more powerful. Porn seems to have gone from pro tech to anti tech.
