Mobile Porn
In many nations pornography is one of the most controversial forms of media. It is present in many aspects of media, from the internet to movies and magazines. There is a new mode of pornography that is expected to emerge from a surprising location—the Apple iPhone. According to Time Magazine, the new iPhone 2.0, which is expected to come out in summer 2009, will bring about a new, mobile form of pornography. With better video and graphics, the updated cell phone will allow for easy and convenient porn for those on-the-go. There are even hundreds of websites that have been created especially for future iPhone users. Apple claims that there will be parental controls for the internet on the iPhone 2.0, but there are a number of critics who are quite worried. Opponents of this new outlet for pornography are concerned for the possibilities of exposure to young children. The iPhone 2.0 is expected to be released in over 75 different countries around the world, making the issue a global one. It will be fascinating to see how much of an impact the iPhone has among pornography fans, and what new types of porn will emerge next!
