In an average per day that we spend doing anything with computers like going online, surfing the net, doing some income generating activities, chatting, or whatever you're doing each day with it. How many hours do you spend in front of this man's great invention? As for me, the time I got my laptop. In an average per day, I think I spend 5 hours per day doing everything from games, chatting, emailing, surfing and participating in income generating sites.

At work, I spend about 6 to 8 hours at a computer. At home it's about 6 hours per day, mylotting and surfing the web. So, somewhere between 12 to 14 hours per day.

I spend around 14 hours in front of my computer. My work involves using the computer and after working, I spend some time to chat with my friends and playing computer games.

I though I would find people would only be spending an hour or two but I find I am not the only one who spends 10 hours a day on the computer. It is really a lot of time but I have not much else to do. I am partially disabled so do not get out much and I wish there was a way of getting well paid by being on the computer as it is one of the things I am able to do.

I spend around around 14 hours a day in front of the computer. I think the time that I am not in front of the computer is either I'm on travelling,having my meals,walking around,sleeping...I think the computer has been integrated into the life of almost everybody...

I spend eight hours in front of computer every working day out of the needs of my job, but maybe fewer at weekends. Long-time sitting in front of comouter is pretty tiring to eyes and probably results in a lot of diseases, such as "mouse disease",cervical spondylosis,nervous breakdown, etc. Those long-time computer users including me should do care your helth and have enough rest.

I think I spend more than four hours in a day before the computer, for I have to accomplish many works with the help of computer. Sitting before the computer for a long time is a terrible feelings, my eyes are hurt by the way, and my head is always ache, and my back is not in a good condition. But to me, computer can not br given up, for I have to use it to do many things.

That's okay. At least you're just home and no need to worry about travelling from one place to another. Thanks for sharing.

The days I am online most, I wander off and do other things a little bit, then come back to do something else on the PC. I do this over a 8-10 hour period a few days a week. Other than that, maybe a jump on to check email for a few minutes. We used to be online about 15 hours a day, working from home. Now the typical brick-and-mortar positions make that less.

Um, I don't really count them, but starting from when I get home from school, 3:00 pm, to when i get off... i would say 7-9 hours.. wow It's shocking when you think of it, speding 1/3 of a day online. But on some days like weekends I hang out with my friends, go out with parents, or just sleep half the day off (LOL) Well I'm moving this weekend so I guess I'm going to be a bit more busier. Well Generally I think the reason for so much online time is because you can do basiclly anything on the computer, It's taken over the phone, tv, radio, reading, doing homework at the library (research), entertainment, and even making money. Oops, I don't want this to turn into an analysys of how i spend my time XD happy myLotting :P

I spent an average of 14 hours a day in front of the computer. 8 hours of work in the office and then I spend 4 to 8 hours also at home. Updating my websites, making articles, doing blogs, checking personal emails, chatting, surfing, mylotting, making money online and etc. But during weekends I only spend maybe 6 to 8 hours a day because I also want to relax at home.

I used to spend at least 8 hours a day on the computer, but lately I've cut that time into half. I get kind of queezy lately if I'm on too much, but that's probably due to stress. Here lately, however, I'm trying to spend more time on the computer without cutting too much into my homework time (college work at that) while still trying to earn money online since I seem to be broke all the time.

Between 6-7 in the morning and 20-21 at night i stay in front of my laptop. Be it weekend or a regular weekday. So I guess i am in some way addicted to computing.

I think I spend too much time in front of my computer. I work online so it's mandatory to stay 9 hours a day in front of the PC. At home I stay another 2-3 hours, depends on my mood. So, basically I stay somewhere between 11-12 hours a day :) In weekends on the other hand, I try to relax more and use the computer only 2-3 hours :)
