I loved this paragraph quoted from the Article

"A recent study by researchers at Stanford and Duquesne universities claims at least 200,000 Americans now are addicted to e-porn. By many accounts, that's a conservative estimate. According to Nielsen NetRatings, 17.5 million Web surfers visited porn sites from their homes in January 2000, a 40 percent increase from four months earlier. That escalated to 20.7 million in October, or roughly 23 percent of the Web-surfing population in the United States. And surfing for porn at work isn't far behind. Nielsen watched 16 percent of the Internet-equipped working population click onto porn sites in October as well. With bigger sites raking in more than $100 million a year through X-rated portals, e-porn continues to be the most successful of all Internet ventures, according to Neilsen NetRatings. Overall, according to Forrester Research, Web surfers spent close to $1 billion on pornography in 1998 and the market continues to grow."


1998? whats your thoughts for 2005?
