I agree with much of what is said on what is not a waste of time and what is.
But in my mind, it all basically boils down to everything that is for Me as being a waste of time. The only way I can do anything that is considered NOT a waste of time is to do something so monumentally impressive that it changes the lives of humanity overall. There are smaller features to be done. Mostly that amounts to anything that helps humanity survive.
Helps at least one person survive. That is what is not a waste of time to me. A doctor, father, mother, nurses, director of an orphanage, select groups of scientists. The list goes on and on. All of these construct their very values upon caring for the next generation to be raised and continue. This is the only way anything that I can do can be considered not a waste of time. But that's just me.
Going out into nature as is in this mans actual message is not going to help anyone. It might make me more well rounded or experienced in some fashion sure. But that's not going to last beyond a very short time.

That picture is hilarious, Jim.
As for the opinion piece itself, well, my parents also think that video games are a giant waste of time. Interestingly, they have a completely different opinion on books and music, and they watch TV themselves. And my parents aren’t even as old as this guy. What are you going to do? Oh, that’s right, write an editorial for a News Corporation-owned news outlet that bashes the entire medium. Well, you’re old and no one cares about your opinion, so fuck off and die.

This guy knows that Captain N was just a cartoon show, right?

This old geezer bleats much like my dad has been doing since the first time I fell in love with the C64 and gaming...he came from a totally different time, and so he never "got" games. Video games are bad. Period!

A Dinosaur posting from an archaic media company, about the end of the world.
He should have a sandwich-board with some bible chapters printed, then we'd take him more seriously.

The thing about articles of that type is that all they really do, is augment existing beliefs. People who are anti-games come away from the article feeling vindicated, as do people who believe that most journalists wouldn't know a decent game if it danced naked in front of them screaming "play me, I'm fun."
The only real danger is that fence-sitting parents read articles like this and take it upon themselves to listen to pre-cretaceous journalists like this one instead of listening to their children.
