In the tech world, porn quietly leads the way

(CNN) -- It was just days after the release of the iPad -- Apple's slate computer heralded as a tool for gaming, book and magazine reading and Web consumption -- when the announcement arrived.

One of the world's biggest porn companies claimed it had created a way to stream its videos onto the device, skipping the Apple store and its restrictions on salacious content.

The announcement illustrates a widely acknowledged but seldom-spoken truth of the technology world: Whenever there's a new content platform, the adult-entertainment industry is one of the first to adopt it -- if they didn't help create it in the first place.

"It's not necessarily that the porn industry comes up with the ideas, but there's a huge difference in any technology between the idea and the successful application," said Jonathan Coopersmith, a professor at Texas A&M University who teaches the history of technology.

"They're kind of the shock troops, and one of the nice things for them is that they can claim, 'Hey, I'm advancing technology.' "

Yes, it's true, especially in our case.
However, we DID come up with the idea. (Contrary to the article) We invented the technology, invented the system, applied the technology, and manufacture & sell the World's First Virtual Reality Sexual simulation system.

And that's different than the "non-adult" world. We have to do it all ourselves, because we can't depend on adoption/expansion by other companies.

It's a long road from idea, to product on the street, which the article rightly notes.

I can't tell you how many times in the past 15 years someone has told me how they "had that idea," about our product. But WE were the ones to put a product on the street 10 years ago, no one else. And we're still here.
