Is playing computer games a waste of time?

Hey!! Last week I read in a newspaper that children paly lot with computer games....

Nowadays children play computer games instead of going out to play with their friends. So, this change in the way of living had provoked some debates.

It is belived playing computer games is a waste of time, because children don't read books or taste exercise. However, it has been demonstrated that children who play computer games can make decisions in a faster way than the other who don't do it.

One of the advantages could be the fact that children can learn lots of things from computer games. For example, history or language, as the first computer games were made in English. On the other hand, they can cause addiction among children, who would be all the day playing, and they wouldn't be able to socialize with other people.

To sum up, computer games can be useful, in the sense that you can learn a lot and it can be helpful to relax you. But, at the same time, you must control the time you spend in front of your computer.

Well, that's my opinion... what do you think about it??

See you soon!!
