VCR was revolutionary, of course nowhere near the impact as the Internet but until the Internet the VCR was the coolest invention in my lifetime. Being able to go to the neighborhood video store and rent the newest movies not long after they were in theaters was mind blowing - before that if you missed a movie in the theater it was years before they came on TV and when they did you better be home because that was your only chance for another long period of time. There were thousands of small mom and pop video rental stores that made great livings for about 5 years until the big boys with their supermarket style video stores made them extinct.

It also created a boom for the porn industry, which up until then only had adult movie theaters and stag films sold by mail through ads in skin magazines. I'd never seen hardcore porn before other than one old black and white this Italian guy I worked with had and brought a projector and the film to work LOL The first VHS porn tape I got my hands on was a 6 or 8 hours tape with 3 or 4 videos on it, by the incredibly shitty quality of the video it must have gone through many generations of duplication but it was still amazing. I remember one of the videos was an erotic sci fi movie The Satisfiers of Alpha Blue, then a movie with Christy Canyon and Traci Lords where they were kidnapped by a sex club of wealthy perverts - watched their scenes an ungodly number of times.
