Each time I visit some physical betting shop in my country, I usually observe how some elderly people make use of computers. I live in a country where most people 55 years and above don't have basic computer education. Many of them cannot use the mouse, keyboard, or other parts of the computer. This might be because most of them have not been exposed to computer education.
However, the introduction of online betting has forced most gamblers in my country to learn how to use the computer. It is now common to see some elderly people using the mouse and keyboard effectively. Most of them have never attended any computer education class but learned through observation. Others might have gone through some level of training from family or friends. I am sure many of them wouldn't have learned anything about the computer if not for online gambling. What are your thoughts?
Well, this actually is true, alot of persons (including young people and older people) never really went through any computer training institute, but today, are operating the computer system very fluently, like myself for example, I never went through any computer education, I only once encountered a guy in a cyber Cafe who showed me the basics, like how to login my time on the Cafe and how to log out, knowing, I simply from time to time visited the Cafe on my own, bought time, and then login, and I will just be trying out somethings on the computer, until my time expires, I continued like this until I learnt how to operate computer very well, and what was my reason for wanting to learn how to operate a computer at that time? It was Facebook.
Facebook was reigning in my area as at that time, and being a young hustling boy not able to afford a smart phone, cyber cafe was my top alternative to use to create and manage my own Facebook account back then.
So yeah, it's very understandable that many today are now able to operate computers due to their involvement in online gambling, and this actually is a very good thing, shows that even through gambling, people can learn to do things they have never done before, gain new knowledge and education of latest technologies and so on.
