Pornography :
Still or moving images, usually of women, in
varying states of nudity, posing or performing erotic acts
with men, women, animals, machines, or other props. Some say
it degrades women, some say it corrupts young boys (who
down-load it from the World-Wide Web or exchange it on
floppy disks). Most of it is in the form of JPEG images.
There are many sites on the World-Wide Web offering porn of
all sorts, almost always for a subscription. It is said that
these are a driving force in the evolution of new technology
and techniques for the web. Advertisments for them certainly
constitute a significant proportion of all spam. There are
even pornographic computer games, an early example being Mac
Playmate.
Beware - many institutions, particularly universities, have
strict rules against their computers and networks being used
to transfer or store such things, and you might get corrupted.
