"High Stakes, High Tech. Imagine the Internet As Electronic
Casino."
Mr. Fields is the former director of Darpa. He now hopes
to transform the Internet, developed to defeat the
evil empire, into a powerful medium for indulging
America's growing weakness for wagering, to bring
casinos to the people -- and into the center of American
life, the home.
"When I was looking around for what I would do next I
decided to do something in the entertainment and gaming
industries because they're now the greatest users of
advanced technologies," Mr. Fields said. "It used to be
the defense industry."
