The Internet is for porn

Probably one of the only songs from a musical that I like, and a little plug for Avenue Q (I saw it in Vegas, and now the lead actor is doing this show on Playhouse Disney. Everytime it comes on I die a little inside).

So, yes, lots of people use the Internet as a means to getting to pornography. That doesn't discount all of the other phenomenal ways that the Internet has changed our everyday lives.

I feel the same way about people who think that virtual worlds are just a way to have cybersex. And with research showing that people experience physiological responses to the experiences of their avatars, its no wonder that the sex industry is such a big part of virtual worlds.

Its no mystery that the porn industry is one of, if not THE, most technologically advanced industries. People will pay for high tech sex, so the porn industry invests in innovation. That shouldn't mean that we can't use the technology for other, perhaps more noble, purposes.
