I very much believe that the dominant motivators for advancement of computer technology, both hardware and software, are videogames and porn.

I believe most men are deep down, fundamentally motivated by a desire to get the girl, so to speak. This can manifest itself in creating something that would be perceived as cool, or creating something that will profit the man, and thereby get girls that he believes are attracted to cash. But I suppose I'm deviating from the topic considerably at this point.)
I think storage, graphics, sound, memory management, peripherals and input devices, display technology, all have been advanced due to demand from videogame and/or porn consumers. The only computer tech that I can possibly see not being somehow driven by videogames is networking.
