INTERNET PORNOGRAPHY - A TRUE

LOVE FOR PORN
If you are reading this you have probably unwittingly been directed to an internet pornography site. Almost everyone has. Because the demand is so great pornography, on the internet and in general, is so omnipresent you can scarcely avoid it if that is your aim. Internet pornography statistics may seem to be as incomprehensible as the amount of pornography itself, but certain research and news organizations have taken the time to do the math when it comes to the facts about pornography consumption.
The statistics are truly staggering. According to compiled numbers from respected news and research organizations, every second $3,075.64 is being spent on pornography. Every second 28,258 internet users are viewing pornography. In that same second 372 internet users are typing adult search terms into search engines. Every 39 minutes a new pornographic video is being created in the U.S.
It’s big business. The pornography industry has larger revenues than Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Apple and Netflix combined. 2006 Worldwide Pornography Revenues ballooned to $97.06 billion. 2006 & 2005 U.S. Pornography Industry Revenue Statistics, 2006 Top Adult Search Requests, 2006 Search Engine Request Trends are some of the other statistics revealed here.

Top Adult Search Requests and Search Engine Request Trends
Internet consumers are most likely to search for the terms “sex,” “adult dating,” and “adult DVD” to access their pornography product of choice. The top 20 search terms also include “teen sex,” “teen porn” and “sex ads.”
Some search terms were divided evenly along gender lines. Statistics indicate the term “sex” was searched for as often by female consumers as it was by males. Men and women differ greatly on other searches. For instance, men performed 97 percent of the searches for the term “free porn.”
Researchers have also broken searches down by location. For example, consumers in South Africa are most likely to search for the word “porn.” Internet users in Elmhurst, Illinois, are most likely in the United States to enter the word “porn” into the search field.

सपनों का सच

Devanshi sejwar


मेरे सपने मुझसे क्या कहते हैं
कभी मुझे डराते हैं,
कभी स्नेह दिलाते हैं।
बिछड़ों से मिलाते हैं,
कभी उनके लिए तड़पाते हैं।
सपनों में कभी राजा हूं,
कभी रंक हूं।
कभी उसके पास हूं,
कभी उससे दूर हूं।
उसको छूकर रोमांचित हो उठता हूं,
कभी दौड़ता कभी हांफता।
कभी दौड़ नहीं पाता,
कभी उसे पकड़ नहीं पाता हूं।
कभी डर को डरता है,
कभी उससे डर जाता हूं,
कभी उड़ता, छलांग लगता हूं।
सपनों में मेरी सफलताएं हैं,
मेरी कुंठाएं है, असफलताएं हैं।
कभी बचपन है, कभी बचपन की यादें।
कभी मेरी कलम है कभी परीक्षाएं हैं।
परीक्षाएं छूटती हैं, कलम खो जाती है।
कभी कलम चल नहीं पाती है।
उठकर सोचता हूं।
कलम और परीक्षाओं से,
काफी आगे निकल आया हूं।
ना अब बचपन है, न वो लोग हैं।
अब दौड़ है, सपनों के बोझ हैं।
मान-अपमान है, शक्ति है – असहाय हैं।
अब अहसास बदल गए हैं।
वो दौर निकल गए हैं।
सपने मुझे क्यों धोखा देते हैं।
भूत-भविष्य क्यों दिखाते हैं।
अब बस सोचते हैं,
सपनों को नकारते हैं।
क्या यही सच या सपना सच।
तो न यह सच न सपना सच है।
आओ जगकर, सच को तलाशते हैं।
सपनों से निकलकर, सत्य को पाते हैं।
