Is there a specific time waster you refer to?
There are many ways to waste time online.
Everyone has their own preferences of wasting time.
I like to waste time building my websites, and checking the forums on HP, with a few side treks to social media and email sites. :-)
Probably, you will not be wasting your time if you are doing something good and something you like while you are online. "Wasting time" depends on your perspective. Take Snakesmum for example, she's making useful and relevant things when she's online, technically speaking, not a time is wasted. But if you are only using internet for flooding posts on social media, well then, there's a lot of time wasted.
I think, Keltar, it would help if you told us what you mean by wasting time. If you mean coming online when you should be doing other more important things then yes you are probably right. But for that you need better time management.

And lets not forget that many people run businesses online, so being online is where they need to be. And there are so many other reasons to be online.
So I would have to say on that basis, and others, I would say no I am not wasting my time.
Sure it's a waste of time...but it sure beats working, or interacting with family members... (I keed, I keed)
