The adult entertainment industry, like every branch of the entertainment business as a whole, has undergone significant changes over the past 75 years. With the development of new technologies, entertainment went from early photographs, movies, and live performance to media streaming to a global audience.
Several scientists claim to have invented the radio, including Jagadish Chandra Bose, Alexander Stepanovich Popov, Nikola Tesla whom the US Supreme Court eventually recognized as the inventor of radio, and Guglielmo Marconi. The earliest film was produced in Leeds, Yorkshire in 1888, and the first film projector came into being around 1895. Early films were silent until 1927, when synchronized sound and film made its famous debut in the feature film The Jazz Singer starring Al Jolson. Early electromechanical televisions were invented by 1884, although the strictly electronic models did not come into wide use until much later. Color television was known by 1940, but because of the war, expansion of the technology was placed on hold until 1945, and color televisions were not available to the public until 1954.
Starting with these humble beginnings, different media were developed for the storing of audio and video projects. Vinyl records to 8-tracks, then cassettes and DAT, then a big jump to CDs and DVDs and eventually streaming on the Internet. The relative affordability and easy use of home computers put the digital world at the fingertips of many worldwide. The Internet represented a huge jump in technology that enabled easy worldwide distribution of all manner of entertainment, including adult entertainment. Along with the use of film editing software that can be purchased for use on home computers and high-resolution digital cameras that are compatible with personal computers, anyone can make a movie that is quite high quality in appearance.
This has led to a huge increase in the number of independent films that have been and continue to be produced today. Because, unlike earlier days where a movie studio had to green-light your script in order for you to have access to all of their equipment to make a film, anyone with an idea for a film can go out and with easily accessible equipment can create a film on his or her own. Certainly, this has helped to spur many small production companies that were free to produce any kind of niche films they wished, such as adult films. With new technology comes adult video on demand sites such as All Adult Channel where you can select and watch video and clip content either through streaming content viewed in real time, or by downloading movies directly to your computer.

With the advent of new technology, you can now also watch adult films on cell phones and video I-pods, making movies very portable. ****** films are easily accessed via the Internet on demand, at websites such as Bang Bros. and Youporn, making them available anytime you have the opportunity to view them.
