Most of Our parents say No video games..!!Its just a waste of time...I never felt that playing games is waste and also the latest games are nowhere boring...Few older games were created my imagining some characters and they used to develop a story and then a game was designed..But our latest games are realistic and fascinating...Its scientifically proven that playing video games helps us in many ways...Our way of thinking improves alot,concentration also improves..But most of the parents believe that Its just a waste of time and we cannot concentrate on our studies.... Do you agree on that...?what is your opinion..?Please share.. Thank you for reading...!!! Enjoy your gaming and mylotting..

Same here dsharat. My parents are also most of the time telling me to stop playing games and it is of no use and easte of yimr....blah...blah...But i never felt that way. I even search for games which suit me.I dont think playing games is waste of time but i do agree we should play for limited time like 2 or 3 hours in a day is good enough for me nowadays.

No, sitting on your a$$ doing nothing is a waste of time. If it's fun and you enjoy doing it, it's not a waste of time

I find video games engage my mind better than say watching television, cannot stand watching tv, but a video game actually helps me feel entertained and lets me relax.

Well, I do not want to go against people's ideas, but most of the times what parents say is just to satisfy their ego and have an illusion of control. They have never experienced how it feels to play video games so they think that its bad since they do not know what it means. I have always liked to play games. From the time I was a small child, till now, I have played games. From boring ones to interesting through to addictive ones. I love all kinds of games. And I do not think that they are a waste of time. All the games that I have played till now have some how helped to gain more knowledge. They tend to make me sharp and my concentration power has increased too. But all good comes with a price. I have got addicted to gaming and can't resist it. Although I'm still staying off it for a long time now.. bourne

I personally don't agree to this. I believe even playing games could help us learn new stuffs. Games are sometimes necessary for our entertainment. Some games even help us improve our critical thinking and our reflexes. We should also balance our time on playing video games and studying. Too much of any will be bad for us.
