I am a parent, and I am a computer nut. My boys and I are constantly bickering about who spends the most time on line and who is the worst addict. Being handicapped, I often find this a good way to relieve myself of boredom while using my brain at the same time. I write in forums and places like MyLot. My sons basically play games all the time. I would think in their late teens they could begin doing something that requires a bit more brain work. There are days I do spend five or six hours online, some days none. There are days I would just love to kick my stepson in the butt for hogging the computer just so no one else can use it. I will swear to you he sits here and looks at the same screen and is probably asleep!
