What took them so long? The other day, news broke that Seattle-based company MiKandi is setting up a Porn App Store on Android Market.
Isn’t that fascinating? I don’t mean the fact that Android is opening up for porn apps. I mean the fact that it has taken so long for porn to enter the arena.
In the yestermillennium, porn was considered the driving force behind breakthroughs and innovations in technology and in media and legal developments.
But not anymore. Ages after Apple’s and Android’s apps changed the way we communicate, navigate, and even start business, porn enters the arena. This is the new millennium, indeed.
Also, a poll published in one of Sweden’s major newspapers revealed that 70 percent of people think porn in the phone is ok. Not so barrier-pushing anymore. A new world, indeed…

A great nextopian example. In the yestermillenium porn was the “forbidden”, unreachable, mysterious, taboo that made all the boys (and sometimes some of the girls too) in school run to the forrest when news in the schoolyard was spread that there was a porn mag somewhere in the woods. Everybody wanted to see it because of the expectations. The supply was very low and there where barriers like having the guts to acctually buy a mag. Or if you were a minor, even be allowed to by the store owners and their clerks.
Today there is no match getting the porn out on the market. There is a total abundance today. It is so easy I would imagine profits have dropped tremendously. Porn don’t have to push the barriers anymore. With the gaming insustry suffering from the bad economics, our only hope now lies in that we don’t get world peace, leaving incitaments for the weapon industry to keep on pushing the barriers
Bigge,
Very eloquent. Agree completely. Hence my fascination with the fascination with anal sex (here’s a special hi to the people that were outraged at the first word in the nextopia book…)
