I do not feel so. Rather it is like a break from the daily chores when you play your favorit computer game. But my daugher and husband feel I waste my time playing them. Oh it is real fun when you reach the levels given by them with a good score. How do you feel.

Hi friend, Thanks for your response. Anything when you get addicted is bad. So long as you maintain limits it is always good.

I think it is waste of time...I rather do mylotting and make money :-) My hus loves playing games on the computer..I think people are addicted and eventually they waste a lot of time on that...because in games, the person will not feel like leaving it half way and hence wastes time on that...

I don't agree with you. A thing that refreshes you or relaxes you can never be termed waste of time. Life is not always making money. You need some relaxation and fun too. Happy mylotting.

I'm not really a gamer myself but I dont consider a computer games a waste of time. I call it recreation or an Ice breaker if you're bored or if your waiting for a time..

I love playing computer games whenever I get time especially games like free cell, solitaire, even other games on the net are exciting. As you say it is a great relief when you play some of these games after the daily routine work. Even my children and husband do sometimes do not like me playing but I just enjoy.

Well, computer games aren't a waste of time if you can control yourself, try not to play 24 hours straight =p and games are really fun and are good to pass time and relieve stress from everyday life

I don't think it's a waste of time as long as you don't do it to the exclusion of everything else. I'll admit that there have been days that I really did nothing but play games on the computer -- which really was a waste of time since I had stuff I should have been doing instead. But when I play computer games, I tend to gravitate towards puzzle, hidden object and brain teaser games. The type of games that exercise your mind while providing entertainment. That's certainly not a waste of time, since games that exercise your mind helps keep you thinking sharp according to "the experts" whoever the experts are.

I enjoy playing computer games. My husband and I often play the game Mahjong (I think I spelled correctly, it is the Chineese card game). My husband has been playing it for a long time, then I thought it is stupid and waste of time. Now, he taught me that and I started playing it often. I think these games are relaxing and refreshing.

No i don't feel so.TO play a game we need a lot of concentration.And we enjoy alot till the end of the game.No more is precious than enjoyment in our break time.And it makes the children challenging to do a task again and again

I play games to refresh my mind.It give some sort of relaxation some time.But if I play more time,definitely it is a time wasting effort.

computer games are good stress busters and one generally play such games when they have enough time to waste ;) I do play computer games when ever i take a break from my routine. But i don't personally like when people get addicted to computer games and forget to complete their tasks. Other wise it is a wise and productive way to pass time :)
