I had no idea that sex paved the way for the way we use internet today. That was a huge surprise. Learning about the guy who dropped out of school to create a porn site was interesting. He knew that sex was where the money was and he was right!
Until recently, sex sites were the most visited areas of the internet and they contributed to how we use the internet today. For instance, e-commerce was pioneered by pornographers so that they could take their customers' credit cards over the internet. Porn is a huge money making empire, and this is a well known fact even though it isn't spoken of much. Porn is a very popular business, but the statistics of internet porn are shocking since people never talk about it, and it has some negative conotations attached to it.
I was not so much shocked at the statistics of internet porn, as I was shocked that it was such a driving force behind how the internet developed, and how it is used today.
