We've all heard stories about how technology has made certain industries obsolete and changed others, but this eye opening article from Conde Nast Portfolio will make you rethink the role of government in protecting and subsidizing certain key industries that could decline due to technological innovation:

"Cuba used to have mansions and a relatively decent economy. They moved from the individual to the collective. Now they're driving '54 Chevys, maybe the last great car to come out of Detroit." - R. Santelli, February, 2009.

They are doing what all good businesses do Ralph, they diversify to reach consumers in new ways.

Christian dating web site BigChurch.com's motto is "Bringing people together in love and faith." A pointed quote from the Old Testament ("A man will leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." Gen. 2:24) precedes the site's Bible-verse search library. Further testimonial from a fresh-faced woman leaves little doubt as to the site's higher purpose: "I feel like my prayers of finding a respectable man have been answered! Thanks BigChurch!!"

So it may surprise users that BigChurch.com has a decidedly promiscuous corporate parent: Penthouse Media Group Inc.
