Why is it that the adult industry always leads the charge into new technology? We have all witnessed the war between Betamax and VHS but little did many people know that the reason why VHS prevailed is because the porn industry was in favour of the VHS technology. It is the porn industry that actually has a tendency to drive and influence technology. Years later we are seeing a similar war resurface between that of the Blue-ray and HD DVD.
In 1993, the adult industry (Digital Playground) was the first company to launch a DVD. It was titled, "Virtual Sex". Thirteen years later, HD DVD is on the horizen, and the same company is leading the charge into the new technology. This is all part of the breaking news from the convention show that is right NEXT to CES, the Adult Entertainment Expo.
