This podcast talks about how porn is a big part of the internet and has been for a long time.  It is crazy to think that porn was the largest hit websites until social networks like facebook and myspace came along.  It is very obvious of the popularity of those two social networks because everybody always talks about them in everyday conversations.  What is surprising about porn being so popular is that you never hear anything about it so when you hear that it was the most hit thing on the internet and that it still is one of the most popular things out there, it makes you wonder just which ones of your friends frequently visit it without you knowing about it or when you strike up a conversation with some random person you might take a second to think, is this guy a big porn watcher?  From what it said on the podcast, porn is becoming such a large industry that they are becoming more advanced than most other websites out there.  Their innovative way to display live streaming images in HD is just leaving everybody else in the dust trying to catch up with them.  They said how companies like CNN have not even gotten to the point yet where their live streaming video is even of a very high picture quality and they will look towards porn websites as a way to get the most advanced method to display their images.  I doubt that porn will ever be outlawed on the internet or they try to make it very restricted to where it is almost impossible to access because from everything that I have seen about it it is a big industry that would take a lot for it not to fail, so it is going to continue to be one of the largest industries out there.  The big wigs on the internet are not just going to be able to shut down something that is so large and popular that they even said in a song that that is all that the internet is for.  I do think that even though porn will always continue to be a pretty big business on the internet, the social media networks are going to continue to leave it in the dust more and more.  Social media networks are not only popular to normal people but they are also popular to those weirdos out there that try to find anybody they can to start stalking or try to do something to.  So while many people like that watch porn on the internet, they will also use the social media networks to fulfill their very odd desires.  That is why the social media networks will coninue to grow even larger than the porn industry, because the social networks atract everybody while the porn sites mainly attract men, and ones that visit them on a regular basis ar often people with problems that are very odd.  These 2 different types of websites will coninue to race head to head for the most popularity for a long time to come.
