How much do you use your computer?

you turn off your computer? I turned mine off while I was on vacation, but I leave it on the rest of the time, because I don't want to take forever to reboot...

I actually use my computer for pretty much everything. When I think about it, I probably do use my computer too much. I think I spend more time than I should, but sometimes it's can be hard not to be on it.

I use my computer for everything, so if I am at home it is turned on for eight to twelve hours a day. Sometimes it is excess. Sometimes I feel burnt out, but that is how it is. I feel lost without it as well.

My computer is much related with my job, so I do not think I keep it on for too much. Which, by the way, is around 17 hours a day. Most of those hours I am using it, too It isn't really idle.

Hi. GemmaR. On average daily, I spend up to nine hours a day on this laptop. I am unable to spend anymore time on it after that. My time is restricted by parental control. I have asked my husband about this, and he said that he did not change this setting so that I don't have complete access to this computer. He told me that, he will fix it, but everyday for the past week, when I log onto my desktop screen, the parental control icon is still at the bottom of the screen. That means that I have a time limit that I have to be off of the computer. I can't change or turn parental controls off, only he can. He is the admin of this laptop. Every program is set where only he can alter what he wants to, I have no say so in anything when it comes to this computer. I don't know why he will not turn it off, it makes me really question if he was the one that turned it on in the first place. I don't like being lied to, especially when it is my own husband that is lying to me.

When I'm not study I use computer all day.From 8am to 10pm

Hi GemmaR, my computer is switched on in the morning whenever I wake up unless I'm away from home. Yeah, it will be turned off only before I go to bed in midnight It means that my pc and I go to bed and we have proper sleep at the same time of 7 hours or so My laptop doesn't consume much power as it's set to rest mode when it's not in use. It's really inconvenient if we get our pc to shut down and start several or many times in a single day. The procedure is quite boring if doing this often for I surf net and work on the screen on and off during my free time only. Thus, even though my pc is switched on 14 hours the whole day, actually I don't spend that much time surfing net on it. Happy posting

I use my computer for more than 14 hours daily maybe because it is part of my job. But sometimes even on weekends and holidays I spend the same amount of time on computers.

14 hours a day is way too much. If i'm online for that long period of time, i must make sure that my earnings are enough to pay for the electricity bills, and the left overs are my real income. IF not, it's a waste of time and money, defeating my purpose of earning online. I'm spending about 3-4 hours online, enough for me to do whatever is there. haha

I use computer a lot too.. I use computer when I work, after I got home, I also use the computer. mmmm.. it almost 20 hours I guess..

Mine stays on all the time,it seems. I do cut it off from time to time. Not very often,though.

I do feel sometimes that I use my computer in excess;no matter how interesting the internet is,we have to avoid becoming addicted to it because it will definitely have a negative impact on our social and personal,so now that it's a beautiful spring in my country,I'm trying to spend more time outside at least in weekends and forget about the computer at least for a few hours.

I hardly made ??friends with the computer, and for a while, I felt somewhat frustrated by his apparition. Then I went through a period where I imagined he could do more than I thought and I dressed in a halo of hope for a future clear and easy to live. Do not go anywhere without my laptop bag and take, because no computer, no internet, not worth much, are always armored devices that I connect to the network without wizarding can no longer live. We take better care of the modem for internet, rather than lipstick and laptop sits prominently near the wallet with money and cards. And if you were to choose the subject that I would not ever break, is as clear as I sat in the bow on the list, obviously computer. I know today to properly evaluate the virtues and to use it fully, just as he is able to do for me. Happiness is, however, elsewhere. Life begins, sometimes when you disconnect from the internet and close the lid of your computer, even if it will be the best, most accurate, most reliable friend.

yeah i also use it a lot.just try to keep the usage time limited.

I don't know if I would call it excess but with 4 of us at home using the same computer...it is pretty much switched on for a very long time....from the moment the first one wakes up to the time the last one goes to bed. I try to limit my computer use now and that as well as the children. So, there are days when it's switched on for 14 hours and days when it's switched on for just a couple of hours in a day.

Sometimes. And I'm not talking about work. I have a Dean Koontz novel sitting on the table. Long time ago, I'd be at least halfway through it. But I come home from work and trhe first thing I want to do is get on my laptop. Listen to music. Go on you tube. MyLot. I get home from work around 5. pretty soon I'm ready for dinner. But every now and then I'll get a grip, keep the laptop off and either watch tv or do stuff around the house.

I use my computer about 14 hours per day too. I work on here every day of the week and it takes me many hours to complete all of my work. I try not to leave it on when I am not using it though, to make it last me longer.

A lot! I'm forever using my computer and I make sure that I am logged in on a daily basis, first thing in the morning. I always have to grab my morning tea though and then I take this to the computer, it kind of makes my computer experience that much more enjoyable! I don't currently use my computer for work related purposes although I would like to. I do however enjoy writing and so I like to try my hand at a little fiction writing. I think to suddenly not have a computer now, this would be an absolute disaster for me, I just cannot imagine this at all! I'm into computers in anycase, I'm referring to the maintenance side and I handle all my own maintenance when needed so there's no charge for technician fees and so forth. Andrew

It depends on how much time available for me to online. If my offline matters needs more time to settle them, so i won't go online for much longer hours. So, my computer was switched on ranging from 2 - 10 hours per day, depending on my available time. During school holiday time, usually my computer able to switch on for more than 12 hours since i am very free at that moment. I am really impressed at how you are able to spend so much time to online from your home.

There is nothing unusual about your practice of keeping computer switched on for 14 hours. My system remains on even longer. It depends upon the type of work we do. With so many online activities, if one is accustomed to use computer, naturally the computer should be on all the time we work on it. It stays on even when we are not actually working on it, for short durations. When the gap of idle time is likely to be more, it is preferable to stop it for protecting the system, thats all.
