I am sure many of them wouldn't have learned anything about the computer if not for online gambling. What are your thoughts?
I do not think you are correct about this. There was a time you will not see computer in the bank and other places. But today you can see computer in basic schools. Computers and phones that perform the functions of computer are common these days. The reason more people use computers today more is because of how computers are now common in the society and not because of gambling.

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.

This is very correct, there have been rapid increase in computer usage in my country too due to gambling self-services. In the various physical shops, there are usually computers stationed for customers to analyse matches, book their games and also check live scores. Even the elderly who had no prior knowledge of computer have, due to gambling, known how to do the basic things with a computer. I'm usually amazed at how fast and efficient most of them are in learning and using the computer respectively. At least we can call this a positive development occasioned by the proliferation of physical gambling shops.
