I think that computer games are not as bad as some people may believe. First of all, there are a lot of educational games that help people to study. Students can master many skills including languages and mathematics playing those games. Second, there are games that develop one's logical thinking. They give them intellectual tasks and analyze their answers. Those games also help students (to) relax after a hard school day.
