Where would the internet be today if it wasnn't for online porn?
 

I've been discussing this issue with several people lately. They all work in mainstream, and most of them don't agree with me that porn helped developed the Internet into what it is today. For those who have been in this for a while now, tell me how important porn has been to the World Wide Web.

Discuss.

spam me with knowledge!

Here's some knowledge ;)

the internet is only good for 2 things. Porn and Music. that's it.

Mos tof the advances with the internet are because of porn. Porn took the chances on new technologies. When mainstream saw they worked THEN they decided to use them.

Also porn is a lot of the reason people even bothered with the internet and then went on to discover all the non-porns tuff. So if not for porn many people wouldn't even have anything to do with the internet.

So if porn had somehow been banned for the internet from the start, it would probally be like it was back in 1998 or thereabouts.

Reminds me of something Dr. Cox said said once on Scrubs (yea, I love that show):

"If Porn was ever removed from the Internet there would only be one site left called www.BringBackThePorn.com" :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh yeah i remember that and it's TRUE

The interent wont't be the same place for sure!

But my question isn't where would the Internet be if porn was taken of the net tomorrow, but where would we be today if it was never allowed to develop as an industry?

well, if porn never was on the internet, it would probably be a good girl still in college... and preparing to become an ordain minister

Yeah and I answered you.

Most likely you would have gone to a chat boad at http://114.134.74.3

das interweb was build for porn

and you forgot boards.

I'm sure the net would be getting along just fine had there been no porn on it..

Maybe there wouldn't be some of the technologies, but what doesn't exist isn't missed.. Then again, who knows what may have been different tech-wise had there been no porn.. The technologies could have come along regardless in that there are mainstream companies that make use of pretty much the same type stuff, so someone coulda come up with what was needed...

We'll never know what woulda been...

and watching free movies...and online games back then

i think that porn is respocible fopr alot more technological advamces than ppl realise, i mean one of the first things to ever come out on video was porn. one of the first things to come out on dvd was porn.

It would be part disney/part romper room/part online encyclopedia.

And online church service.

A nice safe antiseptic environment.

Yay.

Exactly.
