The internet cannot be credited as invented by one person, but it was invented for one purpose: to connect people and share information, not for porn. The progress of the internet came from a large collaboration of people from all over the world, from the corners of England to France to America, and the goal was to unite communities and achieve computing tasks and forward technology. It was surely not for the sake of porn.
The top searched term in the entirety of the internet is ‘porno’. Between 2012 and 2014, the word was put into search engines over 150 million times every month, all over the world. Surely this isn’t what the internet was invented for but it’s how it has turned out.
Pornography establishes unconventional connections, but not between humans. It establishes a connection with a pseudo human, and the technology itself, but is this necessarily wrong? It’s an unprecedented result, surely, but porn can’t exactly be labeled as a bad one. Throughout time humans have always needed a sexual outlet, and the internet has given us one which is not 100% tangible, but it’s effective.
This does stray from the principle of the internet, though, because porn stops us from connecting with each other and connects us to a machine, but at this point, the power of the internet can’t be measured and it can’t be controlled, so it’s just a matter of moving forward and striving for better.
