How much time do you spend on the computer everyday. It is for your work or is it because you love to spend time on the computer. My job needs me to be at the computer everyday. But when I do not have any work then too I am on the net everyday. Busy mylotting or doing something else online.

Since I don't work, I don't use the computer for that type of senario. However, since I have no life, that's all I use my computer for. I'm on the bloody thing to catch up on emails, look at my MySpace and of course, MyLot. Now, I used to spend quite a number of hours on it a day, but since I've discovered that spending the time with the kids was much more exciting, I've been with them, thus cutting down my hours on the net considerably. *Pleiades [Pleiades]
Kids are indeed anyday more exciting than mylot. It is good that you discovered this fact soon. Other than my emails and mylotting I also spend sometime on facebook and orkut. [mayka123]
I used to spend hours and hours of time on the computer playing online games and chatting having fun but I could take a break when ever I wanted Now I am online around 12 hours a day trying to make money and I know I should take a break from time to time and I am going to start trying to,but I really need to make money for my family until my husbands Job starts back up [Ruby_Dawn]
I am not too fond of online games or chatting on the net. But I sure send emails daily to a lot of my friends and family. Besides that I am also writing on one site and earning from another site as well besides mylot. Yes I think now you need to seriously think of earning something until your husbans job starts back. All the best to both of you. [mayka123]
i love computers im always on it when i get home and love earning money online lol what do you mainly use the computer for [plaskitt531]
Same here for me. I'm at the computer 8hrs everyday, except the weekends. Most days I am busy for office work and in between when I have time, I am mylotting. Do you face any problems? Sometimes my eyes become too dry and I splash water on them. I am also having a pain on my heel, maybe due to prolonged sitting in one posture. [sudiptacallingu]
Sorry I missed your response here.....Like all resolutions made earlier my resolution to diet also was forgotton......and going on a diet for a short period does not make any difference......atpresent I am just gaining weight and that too only at the base!!!! [mayka123]
I am a retired person so i have all the time in the world to do as i please which includes sitting on my pc. However i do not sit on it for more than one and a half hours as my daily schedule is very tight and well regulated. I am not addicted to the internet or even mylot so i do not feel the need to spend more time on it as i have other pursuits. [veejay19]
It is good that you are not addicted to the net inspite of not having a full time job. Many mylotters have got addicted to the computer and cannot be away from the net for long. [mayka123]
Hi dear my job required computer and net all the time- about 7-10 hours and with aim to have "paper freee environment" every dept is equipped with computer and interlinked with Networking. All information is exchanged through it Take care [cupid74]
Ha ha ha i hope now ur perception is cleaed its 8-10/6wink [cupid74]
Hello makya.....Well I do spent about 2 to 3 hours every day at the computer.I chat with a few of my close relatives ,sent mails to family and friends,and also do some surfing and other online jobs everyday.And of course I do also mylot almost every day.But I am not fond of watching movies and videos or playing computer games on my Pc....I am so hooked to my Pc that even if I am away from home for more than a day,the first thing I do when I come back home is to check my mail for any important messages......happy [Roseo8]
well mayka I do not watch movies on pc because I do not much fancy watching them on the small screen.Infact it is possible to download movies at night since BSNL provides free internet usage at night from 11 to 7 I think.....Any way when my son is around he sometimes activates down loading od 2 or 3 movies at one go and goes to bed late.Then I wake up early and switch off the pc in the morning.......happy [Roseo8]
Just five or six hours per day,I use to sit in front of my computer.Since,my business has nothing more to do with computer except for accounting purpose,I use most of the time in net.And it will not go more than the specified time.Cheers! [srganesh]
I am using computer more than 10 hours. At my office my all work on computer only and after office I use my home PC for surfing and studying. [vasantsakpal]
I sit at the computer for three hours everyday.I use it mostly to earn money online.If i am bored i play some online games.I also use it to send mails to friends and relatives.I also use my computer to play games when i feel bored.I also use it to download songs and listen to music when i feel bored.happyhappy [vicky30]
It is good you are able to earn substantial money from the net. Is it only mylot or some other sites too? I too play games when I feel bored but very rarely. I have not yet tried downloading songs on the net though. [mayka123]
There is no fixed time as such which is spent on computer everyday, as far as I am concerned. It depends upon the work at my disposal. If there is much work, I do not mind sitting on computer for hours together to dispose of my work. I spend on an average two hours in a day,at least and duration may increase, depending upon the work load. In between of my work, when I find time, I go to mylot to interact with my friends, through their and mine discussions. At home, I get very less time to go on-line, it happens occasionally. I've observed that sitting continously on computer affects our eye-sight and health. happyrolleyes [dpk262006]
You are absolutely right that spending long hours in front of computer are making us inactive and lazy and it definitely effects our health. We must take some breaks in between our work and must go out for a compulsory walk. [dpk262006]
Usually i spend 10 to 11 hours a day before my office computer. Sometimes even 12 to 13 hours.. but only in rare cases.. eventhough i sit this much time, i get works only 2 to 3 hours a day. other than those time, i will be mylotting, hear melodies(yes.. i have all freedomhappy), analyze the PTC sites, chat rarely, and try to gain knowledges on any particular stuff. I will be always online with my gmail. I always wish to use Internet to the maximum extent by downloading all mobile and system softwares which i need. My Torrent engine will be downloading anything atleast 200 mb a day. But i never show attention on downloading movies or visitng actors wbesites. That is the thing which i mostly hate in my life. Finally, If i got bored with internet on any day, then i used to work in photoshop, moviemaker or flash for entertainment. What to do mam.. i am spending these much time in computer.. but i cannot spend 15 or 20 mins for my lunch because of meeting my customers. Thats my only Prob!sad [raghul77ster]
if i have a time or not busy a can sit on the computer for 1-10 hours/day. [deni17121991]
Hi, I spend hrs on computer everyday. though its little bit painful for my eyes. but have to do coz that's what my job is all about. since we are all here writing and reading the discussions also needs to sit on the comp.because there is no other way out. so its just the only way out of it...:) [sunil_008]
And your Hotmail id? [sunil_008]
For personal and work hours, I would often spend 12 hours in front of my computer. Mostly work related and my computer has become a big part of my everyday life. Getting away and relaxing once in a while without it sometimes helps a lot. [codewalker]
It varies mostly when i start use PC. It could be at night , morning or afternoon time. Mostly i use it from home becasue i dont get chance to use it for personal reason from any other place than home. My average time using PC in one shift varies between 15 mins to 4 hours. [user_786]
Seems to be that you are not working and are at home most of the time. Do you use the computer only for mylotting or any other sites too? [mayka123]
Well, my job requires me to sit at computer for 8 hours. But even on holiday I sit with my laptop and spend most of my time with it. For more information about my using computer read the discussion I have just responded to.happy http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1901336.aspx [cybersoft01]
I do not use the computer on holidays. So it is just five days a week for eight hours everyday. [mayka123]
Well; it varies from day to day . On weekdays, it could be from 5 to 6 Hours since I am in a Software Co. On Weekends , though , it is still lesser , 2/3 Hours or lesser. [ptrikha_2]
Mostly I spend 5-6 hours on the computer I dont have much work with the computer but still I am with the internet doing something or the other search for some topics and read. And the rest of the time in mylotting. Happy mylotting and have a nice day. [nini89]
Generally speaking,I dont like sitting at the computer too long at one time.I dont have to sit at the computer all day for my work,only need it less than an hour a day.I avoid spending too much time on the computer coz it does great harm to our health.I try not to be too addicted to the computer.lol.I spend 2 or 3 hrs on the computer per day. [sweetyethot]
Hi dear I am sitting with computer all the time after reaching my office. I take a break only for eating my lunch. My work is like that, I need to sit with computer all the time and if I get free time I will be busy with mylot or some other works. I think both of us work's nature is similar so I don't explain more to you. [Sreekala]
I am also on the computer all day, well most of the day, at my job. But when I come home I will jump on my computer and check email and see if I have any surveys or if I have heard from my friends. And of course I have to respond to each and every one of them as well. I will also spend a small amount of time browsing. On my day off I spend a good amount of time on the computer checking email and a bit more time surfing and I enjoy it. [ryzach]
as you know,i am ahouse wife now,that means i am full time at home.during the day,my computer is on for about 6-8 hours,not only for mylotting but also for putting various vcds,usually childrens and my kids do play some sort of block games. [riyasam]
More than 10 hours a day. Computer is my business. I own a small computer shop. For rentals and gaming. I do PTC , mylot , games and even self study which interest me. God bless to all of us. [limitbreaker]
Since I'm currently looking for a job and tryes to earn some $ during the time I spend a lot of hours online on a daily basis. Mostly during the weeks since I prefer to be with the family on the weekends. In the summer I spend less time at the computer since I prefer to stay outside and work in my garden growing stuff insted, but there are many hours at the computer during the year! [mammamuh]
my computer stays on all day every day. i'm not always on it but i can be in a second. lol mylot is alot of company to me. [ANTIQUELADY]
i stay online whole day... i work on my own website , i have blogs too i update my blogs every 2 days. .. i chat with friends , i download movies , songs , etc i do some or the other thing on computer. I dont even feel like doing other thing because i am so much addicted to internet that in one way it is spoiling my life. [vaibhavmeswani]
Too much. I'm on here about 12 hours a day every day. I'm into several sites that pay which take up a lot of time. [leonelaphotography]
Genrally On Weekday I Am Online [Office/HOme] Except Sleeping Hours & for Weekend Less Time for PC I Stay Away To Get Little Relaxed [chetanvjoshi]
I'd sit on the computer for hours and all day long because I love doing things in it. There are handfuls of useful information available and I'd love to fill my brain with them. I used to spend so much time hanging out somewhere but currently I hang out on-screen with the net. This computer has made me travel around the world with different cultures and opinions and thus has made me a culturally flexible individual. It has taken my knowledge to greater heights in a much interesting way. [vsmcom05]
I spend FAR too much time at the computer - and I told myself I'd ease up on it this year and get some other things done. So far, I haven't kept my promise to myself, but I will. My husband actually got cataracts in his eyes from years and years working with a CRT monitor - so, even though most of us have LCD monitors now, it's still not a good thing for our health! [guybrush]
ting for long hours in front of a computer or television is very bad for the eyes. Over that long hours of sitting is bad for health too. Try and take frequent break spells if possible so that you do not harm your health. [mayka123]
I feel like I spend all my free time in front of the computer. My job doesn't require me to use a computer all that much, but once I get home I tend to get online. I spend some time reading email, but most of my time used to be just searching the net. That is, until I heard about myLot. Since then, I have found I come here just to see what people are talking about. When I was in college I found myself going to chat rooms. And I would spend way more time than what was probably healthy chatting. I just enjoy the interaction I suppose. Which is why I enjoy this place. Aside from coming here, I pay bills and visit other sites that I frequent nearly every day. And because I have moved my desktop into my living room (so I can watch TV - my other addiction) I am on this darn thing waaay too much. Also, I often find that time really does fly when you're having fun, so I end up staying on here longer than I need or intend to. [_soonernation_]
So you are a computer addict. I think that is very bad for health. I am not much in favour of chatting online. This is something that I like to avoid. Mylot is a good place to learn about a lot of things and interact with people from around the globe. And in addition we get paid for it. So that is an added bonus. [mayka123]
Hi, and am still sitting in front of it.that's why able to read and send you this. how much time you have been sitting on the computer always depends upon how much you have left?... [sunil_008]
Too much time comes to mind! I can spend all day using my computer, and not always for my writing or social sites, also for my games. I do balance it with days of not using the computer at all, but I think I need to find the balance between the two. [newzealtralian]
Definitely too much. I am lucky that I hardly use computers at work, otherwise I would be hours and hours in front of a screen. The thing is that we use the computer for everything. Radio, newspaper, telephone... for things that I was doing before with other machines. Plus the use of the internet itself also takes some of my time. I do like it and I spend at least the first two hours of every day right here, together with more short moments along the day if I am at home. [overwings]
It really depends on how much work and time I have available. Before/A few months back Id be on myLot almost everytime everyday, thats because its my vacation and the schoolwork that time isnt that demanding. Nowadays, I only get to myLot a few times per week and sometime when Im able to get in here, I only have time to read discussions and not actually respond to themdoh So before, Id sit at the computer for more than 5 hours a day either just websurfing, playing games, chatting with friends, do a bit of school work, and myLotting. These days, the most Im online would be about an hour or two. Sitting on the computer busy with something would depend on how much work I need to accomplish. That would range from an hour to a whole nightdoh ...sigh. [bjcyrix]
Oh, hehehe same here,..but I can sit for hours on end in front of the computer. Sometimes I even lost track of time.doh [bjcyrix]
Well, it depends. I am working in the office and there are times that I have to sit in front of the computer the whole day. Sometimes just for a few hours depending on what the situation maybe. When I am at home, just doing some online searching and surfing or chat, its just around 1 hour. [ladyjinggay]
With my work from eight to five from mondays to fridays, I am infront of the computer most of the time.. I can sit 2 hours straight finishing my documents but I make sure I have some minutes to straighten up my legs and close my eyes in between..:) During weekends I am ususally off the computer because I need to rest.. [aj2006]
I too avoid the computer on weekends. Sometimes when I have to do some urgent work I may come online but that is very rare. [mayka123]
I have to sit everyday at least for 8-10 long hours and work in front of my computer since my job is related with computer works only.In between, yes I do login to myLot since I don't want to miss out interesting posts.Good day! [brisk123]
Good you have the time to mylot between jobs. Mylot is too interesting to be missed out. [mayka123]
I can spend easily more than eight hours in a day because i need to turn on this site and also another sites so making me busy every day so how many hours do you spend? [Dasari100]
around 8-10 hour..only use the computer at office..never own it at home..no internet services..plan to buy computer very soon with internet connection..my bum are hurting right now for sitting in chair for long time..huhu [fasyahime]
hi mayka, Since I have my online job for whole day that is why I sit in front of my computer all day. But it not necessarily means that I not stand at all.lolSitting in front of my computer for very long hours make me feel pain in my back. So, once in a while, I take a break. I am working in captcha entry from 5am up to 6pm. And after that, I wait for my boyfriend to be online. We will chat for 30 minutes up to one hour. Then after chatting with him, that is the time that I will turn off my computer.And sometimes, when someone is asking me to help them on their research project, I still extend my time to browse the internet.Well, everyday is so tiring for me because I don't have a day off with my online job.I work there full time, and even I can make excuse to be absent, I am not doing because I need to have good earnings. I think staying so much time in my computer will only last up to May. It is because I will start my teaching in June and then will just use computer the moment I got home. I think, I just have to spend not more than 5 hours during weekdays when classes start soon.happy [annierose]
Hmmm at work Im on a computer, so about 7 or 8 hours there and then when I come home I get on my computer and get online or play games, and depending on the day few more hours. If im awake and home im on the computer lol. [darkjedi]
7-8 hrs .....i spend time work in computer...but sunday...closed [sknsknskn]
