Internet usage,
The number of people using the Internet is always increasing, and will always increase.
the problem comes when people want to gain access to the Internet but cant due to there place of living.
different parts of the UK get better or worse coverage of Internet. it comes to pretty much, urban areas receive more coverage then rural areas. this wasn't such a problem 5-10 years ago because not as many people were using it,but the as the Internet population grows the demand for coverage will increase,
there are other problems with using the Internet, especially social networking sites such as 'twitter' or 'facebook' because people can lie about there age and identity. you can imagine the consequences of this problem. also age restricted content especially when using mobile Internet, is becoming an increasing problem as anyone has access to it.
Internet gambling.
If a 14 year old tried to enter a casino they would get refused entry, but on a mobileinternet gambling site, this is simply a box to say yes or no to whether you are 18+. there is no proof of age required. one other problem is that for example if u were in a casino, and had been for a while spending lots of money the casino would probably ask you too leave or advise that u stop, this does not happen when gambling online. as the sites are out top take all your money, even the ones who aren't out to take your money have no way of letting u know you are spending too much money.
