to each his own... it depends on the person's preferences and wants..if she/he feels comfortable with that job and is happy with it, then theres nothing wrong with it i guess. though i have to admit on your point about on mylot and some sites like this one. earning one requires patience and perseverance after all.. as long as one loves his or her job then he or she can continue doing it. its the same as having a job in a company too. if we hate our job, hate our boss, we would resign and look for another job right? hehehe =)

also in times like this, people always find ways to earn extra income. it doesnt matter how small it is. its just a matter of practicality, to help in paying bills, etc. still, at least its something that we could earn just by replying to comments and interacting to people or coming up with a new discussion. :)

Utilising your computer time by attempting to earn money online is a positive and healthy thing to do. You could be 1 cent richer today, than 99.9% of people that are using computers world wide. In other words, which computer users are wasting their time? A person that has earnt a cent, or the majority that have done and earnt nothing. Then again, wasting your time using your computer is absolutely fun

No I do not feel that working on computers is a waste of time. There is just so much you can do on computers these days. It can be used for entertainment, educational purposes, networking, socializing, market research, making friends, watching TV & movies, and did I mention making Money! I have earned Thousands sitting in front of my computer - and have paid for my laptop many times over as a result. So I most definitely look at my computer to be a great investment of my time.

I can not agree with you .I think working on the computer is very helpful and it is not wasting time if you are working really .but if you always spend much time on computer for entertainment ,i think it is a watse of time. We can use computer for my work and extra earning tool.

No. Why would be a waste of time? I mean come on, the computer is a very resourceful tool. It can help you out in a lot of things. It's not an idle mans job since if you're job is really based on computers say for example a programmer. Then you will be working on a computer and you will be frying your brains up. Well I admit it won't exercise you but hey there are a lot of things you can do with the computer.

I have completely given up trying to make money on the internet. I'm told the jobs are "out there" but I have yet to find them and I just don't have the time to sit in front of the computer all day (I have kids to look after) to try and make some money. I am involved with some affiliate programs and have an ongoing independent contracting job but these can pretty much only be done when my children are with my in-laws for the week as I get distracted easily. Maybe once school starts in September and my kids are in school full time, I can focus more on trying to make money. I know it's possible but I think a lot of time has to be invested and time is something I don't have at the moment.

I dont think its a waste of time, even if you earned a small amounts in some of earning sites, it is stil worth it. Not really the earnings but the joy in brings to you. I learned from the earning sites that i joined, and gain lots of friends. So i dont think its a waste of time, doing nothing is a waste of time. Happy mylottinng, and thanks for open up the discussion, enjoy the day!
