Purity is the enemy of innovation, got it.
Almost across the board, new technology is used to spread two things: religious dogma and porn.
And the farmer's almanac, but mostly the Bible and porn.
Well this sounds funny, but really? I think our newest tech is applied in... Research, manufacturing, weaponry, speed/efficiency/throughput.
On the consumer side of things, we have new technology applied in TVs, movie theatres, and video games. Depending on how "new" is new to you. NGL porn does get a lot of love from tech, though. Not only video resolution, 3D video, and VR... But teledildonics, fancy new backend (ha!) Systems for all of this streaming and payment.
What do you think?
I guess some new technology is applied in super churches. More likely the prices lowered on some entertainment tech, making it accessible for them. But hey it happens.
Religion might be a distant third.
