Well one place you might want to look is video broadcasting. In the past I was asked to set up a video conferencing system for internal use. I can tell you not much was around back then. But it was the Adult industry that spearheaded that technology. If not for them I would say that video across the internet would not be what it is today. Not many people want to watch something on the internet like TV, they want something differant, IE see someone and talk to them live. The adult industry knew this would be a big $$$$ maker once that software got working and everyone had enough pipe to view live streams so I'm sure they paid programmers to work that.
