Why Does Ron Jeremy Hate Technology?

Arguably, one of the most famous people to ever star in a pornographic movie isn’t someone you’re likely to immediately think of. Sure, there’s the Jesse Jane’s and the Jenna Jameson’s, but it seems no matter how old you are, and regardless of whether you watch such films yourself, you’ve likely heard of Ron Jeremy. Given that he’s starred in over 2,000 pornographic films, among real movies, it’s hard to not know of him.

But why I am I bringing him up, on a tech website? Well, like most years, Jeremy appears at the annual Adult Entertainment Expo, which just so happens to occur at the exact same time as CES. This year, he appeared at CES itself, though, and publicly went on to explain why he hates technology, the Internet in particular, and how the porn industry has little to do with the reasons many children are growing up with major issues.

The reasons behind his hatred of the Internet boils down to a couple of things, namely that it allows crooks to succeed and become millionaires, and it also allows pretty well anyone to download any type of content they want for free, also known as piracy. Another reason he hates the Internet is easier to understand. Jeremy has had his identity stolen twice, and although we’re not sure how it happened, having it happen at all would be enough to make anyone hate the Internet just a wee bit more.

Jeremy also goes onto say that pornography isn’t of a huge concern for kids as violent video games are. I can agree with this to an extent, although I think that anything can influence anyone, but when it comes down to it, being violent to someone else is going to be one of the worst things you can do. Still, if a child gets their hands on pornography, it can’t really be considered a good thing. But, Jeremy does state something I can wholeheartedly agree with:

“Parents can block this stuff and need to stop blaming porn for a bad case of parenting. Parents should watch what their kids are doing online and take some responsibility. Don’t blame us. We have disclaimers, age notifications and software blockers. We are doing our bit.”

He first attacked the internet, stating, “The internet has allowed a lot of crooks, thieves and squatters to become millionaires. Normally, they wouldn’t get a job washing dishes. I have a lot of problems with the internet and with identity theft. It has happened to me twice with my bank account, so I am not a big fan. People can download stuff for free these days, so why the heck are they going to buy it? The only ones making money out of porn are the novelty companies. I just hate the internet in general.”
