i don't think playing computer games is realli a waste of time because when we paly computer games,we have to use our brain to think out a so called ' sure winning' method.And because of this,we have to use our brain.parents alway think tat staying in front of the computer screen and playing computer games is a waste of time but parents never think that it can also teach us good things...Having say that there is also some games is really wase of time like eg.'maplestory','gunbound' and etc...they are fun but it doesn't teach us much things or even nothing.So i don't think playing computer games is a waste of time.
