How many hours per day do you spend in front of the Computer

March 30, 2010 6:44am CST
I spend most of my day in front of a computer. I work in front of the computer all morning...I then move to a second part-time job where I work with a computer and when I get home I usually go to the computer. I would say I spend at least 8 hours a day in front of the computer. And you? What do you think of this?

happy mylotting newbie! Anyway, i spend 2 hours a day in front of the computer. I don't really have a computer so sometimes i don't even spend time in front of it.

Wow...I don't remember the last time I only spent 2 hours in front of the computer. :) I know it is not very healthy to spend all the time I do in front of the computer but it is part of my job. Anyway, thanks for participating in my first discussion. :)

I work online, part time now, since I'm partially retired, but I have had days when I was at the computer for 10 or 12 hours. Now it's more like 4 to 6 hours, but it's addicting, even though I've been doing this for years. It's not good for us.

Very well in managing to reduce the number of hours. :) Still a lot dough...but if you work online you have the same "problem" as some of us...what can we do? It is our life.

I spend almost ten hours in front of my computer when I am not in school. I write for a few writing sites online and computer is my company everyday. I say good morning to my computer early in the morning. I work with my computer, relax in the company of my computer and end my day with the company of my computer. That is how much time I spend with my computer.

I spend 8 hours working in the office and an another 2 hours in the Internet cafe after our office hours, which gives me 10 hours of working infront of the computer every day.

The big problem is the time we spend at work...we could be using that time to do better stuff on the Web. :)

I usually use my computer for six hour a day, I use the internet for 4 hours and the rest for playing game for relaxation. I find if I spend to much time in computer I will hurt my back and my eye. It seem today more and more we use our time on computer, I had a friend who can spend 24 hours in front of computer playing online game in Internet.

Wow...24h is a bit too much... :) That means not even sleeping, how did he manage to have friends? Yes, I also feel some back problems from times to times. Regarding my eyes I have recently started to wear glasses. so, the computer is taking me over. Now I discovered myLot and I don't think it will help me use the computer less. :)

I am a programmer so i work in front of my computer more than 8 hours per day. It's not easy and not good for my health^^ but you know, it's your job!

Hi angelblue. Yes, as a programmer the computer becomes part of your body. I'm a webdeveloper so I understand you. :) what languages do you work with? Web or software? Nice to meet you

Probably 2 hours in the weekends some more.

I imagine that is the propriate amount. 2 hours should be enough to check emails and a bit more. I'm now in bed going to sleep and I'm still with my iPhone replying to you... So, keep being good to yourself. ;) do what I say don't do what I do. :)
