Sports fans of today never had it easier to get sports updates. Technology has changed so drastically that even most cell phones have the option to inform fans of their favorite team's scores. They can get score updates even when they are at work, school, or stuck at a play with their significant other. Not only do cell phones have the capability of sending scores live via text message, but some phones even have the capability to stream video. This might have been a far fetched idea a couple hundred years ago but it is now reality. Computers are allowing people to get instant information with a single click of the mouse. No longer do people have to wait to see the game results in the newspaper, or through people that watched the game in real life. They can get live results while the game is happening. Computers are getting cheaper and cheaper, as are cell phones, so sports fans can get the information that they need.

I appreciate the technology behind automated sports updates. I’m a baseball fan and don’t have an opportunity to watch my team play as often as I’d like. I feel compelled to follow what’s going on in Major League Baseball. I don’t subscribe to any services and receive updates, but I’ll go online on my cell phone when travelling if a newspaper or television isn’t handy and I don’t want to wait to hear an update on the radio. I expect that sports gamblers appreciate the technology even more and wonder if this convenience adds fuel to the fire of a compulsive gambler.
