The speed and instant gratification of using a search engine to find information online is becoming a problem for me. I'm only going to conduct information searches at a public library from now on. Almost everything we used to physically undertake can now be achieved online, with perhaps the exception of physical stimulation by a third party, and that's probably not too far away. Society needs to realise that if there's gambling at bookmakers on the high street, there's going to be gambling online. As another poster has suggested, the US should consider legalising and then regulating the activity, not continuing with prohibition. Of course there will be people who suffer addiction and financial issues due to online gambling problems. In the same way, there are people who can't stop surfing porn, who can't stop messaging/texting/updating Facebook while driving, who basically now never leave the house because they're on their arse surfing the Net at home. It's not going to stop. There are many, many positive aspects to modern connectivity. It is how society deals with the negative aspects of online culture that is important.
