- Adult Video News held its annual awards ceremony on Saturday, January 24. Sure, it may not be as prestigious as the Oscars, but the pornography industry is just as worthy of recognition as Hollywood — maybe even more so.
Most people probably don’t think much about porn unless they’re watching it, but the industry has been making invaluable contributions to modern life for almost two centuries. Many technologies we take for granted — online payments, streaming video, email attachments — have their roots in porn.
You may not care about it, you may not watch it, or you may be opposed to it — but porn has almost certainly made your life a little bit easier.
