The speed and instant gratification of using a search engine to find information online is becoming a problem for me. I&#x27;m only going to conduct information searches at a public library from now on.<p>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&#x27;s probably not too far away. Society needs to realise that if there&#x27;s gambling at bookmakers on the high street, there&#x27;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.<p>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&#x27;t stop surfing porn, who can&#x27;t stop messaging&#x2F;texting&#x2F;updating Facebook while driving, who basically now never leave the house because they&#x27;re on their arse surfing the Net at home. It&#x27;s not going to stop.<p>There are many, many positive aspects to modern connectivity. It is how society deals with the negative aspects of online culture that is important.
