For long, new technologies in the audiovisual department were dependent on the adult industry in becoming successful or not, and thus the creators of smut are early adopters when it comes to a new standard.
It helped the printing press develop, the VHS-standard made a crushing impact on Betamax and V2000 back in the days and DVD rose faster than you can say Jack Robinson, all thanks to porn.
However, the latest development in AV -High Definition- is causing a stir among the babes in the buff.
Why?
Here's why: the high resolution shows every imperfection the *cough* actress has. (and obviously the actor as well, but they don't care as much, apparently)
As a result, more make-up, different lighting, more post-production and more plastic surgery will ensue, to keep up the image of perfection.
Right.
Please excuse my while I go and laugh my arse off. :D
And as for those so-called babes... well, whatever floats your boat, I guess.
Cheers, K.
