Reading this I thought of two scenarios before reading your after thoughts.. the first that sprung to mind was the plight of the gambling addict who has lost all his money without even leaving his house, doing the damage on his/her laptop.. it can be such a terrible vice. It's the equivalent of a alcoholic living in a brewery... this always online world is no friend of the gambling addict.

The other scenario us the sadness of someone who's bills etc have gotten on top of them for one reason or another. This is a plight for many people all around the world and for some the next step is homelessness. So sad..
