How Much Time Do You Spend In Front Of The Computer Daily

for me, when I'm not busy, I spend about 4-6 hours max in front of the computer everyday. We have a dsl connection, so I make it a point to use it wisely, hahaha. I check my mails, play some games in facebook and of course, here in Mylot. I also check out my twitter, spend some time writing reviews from another paying site and check out new releases of dvdrips. I'm a self-confessed internet junkie! There's so much to learn :) how about you, how much time do you spend in front of the computer daily?

I spend mostly time daily in happyfront of my computer.. i spend atleast 4-5 hours daily on computer.. i thinks it's not a huge time..because many persons i know who spend 8-10 hours daily on computer.. and sometime i also spend 6-7 hours in a day.. but i spend that time on internet.. via online earning and some other resources.. thanking you and keep mylotting always.. [anurag3786]
I also knew some people that would spend a lot of time in front of the computer. As for you, i agree it's not a huge time. thanks for sharing! [onlyprincess]



I'm on dial-up because it is cheaper, but I do spend too much time, really. I didn't go to sleep last night, and I didn't go to the movies today, so once again I pulled a thirty-six hour shift. No, it's not my typical day. I usually only do 12 to 16 w00t No, just kidding. Most of the times 6 hours sound right, but once or twice every week or two I just find too many exciting things to learn. [Qaeyious]
I agree there's so much to explore and learn! :) thanks for sharing. [onlyprincess]


We spend a lot of time in front of our computers but we have a forum and a website as well as work from our computers. Wish we spent a lot less time.happy [WiseReptiles]
yeah, people nowadays spent more time in computers rather than having a life outside. Time really flies when having fun, so I guess that's why a lot of us don't realize how much time we spend daily. [onlyprincess]



Honestly, i already spent 11 hours just by sitting here infront of the computer. Just by checking the mail, making and answering discussions, watching movies on youtube. that's what i do all the time whenever im home. so boring routine. [jbaunillo]
yeah, that's really a lot of time and sometimes, i just realized that i missed a lot of things right after i switched the PC off. [jbaunillo]


Now a days I spent nearly 6-7 hours in front of computer. When I sit on computer, I don't realiese how the time has passed. I spent maximum time here in mylot. Mylot is really interesting site. I search for some stuff, read news, hear songs. And then finally I search for study material. [aviambitious]
Time flies when you're having fun! :) especially here on mylot :) Me too, I first visit the sites I regularly check before doing my research for a study material,hahaha. Thanks for sharing! [onlyprincess]


I spend about 2-3 hours a day if it is not a holiday, and if it is a holiday I spend about 8 hours on the PC. Out of that 8 hours, I mylot for at least 4 hours, PTC and other earnings for 1 hour, gaming for 1 hour and the rest goes for downloading! I have a Broadband connection too!confused [kar295rocks]

Well i am a lot into computers so on average i spend about 4-7 hours on the computer. I usually spend time on social networking sites like facebook, orkut chatting with my friends or playing games. Then i check my mails and surf on google looking for the latest tech things etc. I have also started spending time on mylot and 1 hour or so is spent on mylot only. I have to also complete my assignments and projects. And sometimes i listen to songs or watch movies on my computer. [redshift07]

I will spend quite a lot of time in front of the computer each day. Just lately, I average no less than 4 hours perched before my laptop per daywhistle Although, in my defense, the computer is where I do all of my work and revision for upcoming exams. Plus, I find it makes the daunting process of job hunting that little bit easier [MrKennedy]

First of all computer is my life. and this is my love too. lol but its true. i cant live without this. Even some time i sit in front of my pc to do something even i dont have any thing to do. and about hours if you talk when i dont have any work i generally sit in front of my pc in hours. and even i know it hazards alot.But this is the love.. lol [1anurag1]

An average of 2 hours daily. Poor. That's only the span of time given to me. Maybe later it's expanded. [libramie]

Most of the time if I have nothing else better to do. I blog, I check on my emails and I surf the net. If you are serious about blogging, you have no choice but to keep on trucking. Then you also need to keep up with the e-news. [jonjee0203]

hi,Time in fron the the computer i sit for some two or three hours in a day.,Just working towards my ptc and some earning sites.Checking my gmail account and other mail s in the inbox.Not more than that. [umabharti]

since my work depends on the internet i have to be in front of my computer for 12hours or more.and most of the time im online is at night when im updating my sites.when im online i also check all my emails and favorite sites like Mylot and the likes and post some discussions and answer some too. [johndur]

for me spend in front of computer a day, minimun 5-12 hours. because everyday i need computer to work, to make many program for my job. [doniinjak]

Weekdays it is normally 5-6 hours and on weekends i can go the whole day. I love to surf and of course mylot gets a lot of attention. [saphrina]

I spend from 6 to 8 hours a day in front of the computer. It is part of my job and use it for fun. [muttley74]

Hi OP, I used to be in the computer most of the time everyday. maybe 8-10 hours everyday. after office hourse when i reach home before going to bed i still work for mylot for two hours. [msfrancisco9369]

I sit on computer 2-3 hours daily. I am computer student so I should sit more to do my work but, without any pursoe i can't sit, but to work on my lot I can sit 3-4 hr daily but i can't do it. My father scolded me to sit more than 3 hrs.He has theoretical nature .he believd to study more from books, you get more and deeper knowledge from the books. [deependra_gem]

I spend my time a lot of time,because my work related with computer and automaticly I have a lot of time in front of computer.my activity almost same with you such,mylotting,check email,facebook and many more with my Interest choice. [ridwan08]

That's interesting. Most people assume I spend at least a few hours in front of the computer screen everyday when the reality is that there are day when I don't even turn on my computer lol. If I had to put a number on it I'd say from 1 to 2 hours max. I check my emails, mylot, maybe do some itunes shopping but that's really it you know? Unless I'm writing an essay for school or something or doing research I don't spend a lot of time on the net. Recently I find that the internet isn't what is used to be or maybe it is and I've just gotten bored with it . Sometimes I wish I had more thing to do on the net since I find it to be really fascinating. [eponce09]

Well, I spend a pretty decent amount of time on the computer daily. If I'm home the computer is on and I'm constantly checking email, myLot and a few other websites I go on frequently. I play around with photoshop, Paint and I like playing games as well. I'm a self-confessed internet junkie as well!! Let make a club! Haha, I'm sure there would be hundreds of people who also are internet junkies! [kaylayoe]

well the only time i am not on my desk is the time wehn i am eating or sleeping or washroom . else i am in front of my desktop the whole day .....most of the times watching movies and downloading new movies at the same time after watching movies some time on pay sites or else social networking sites ....i spend my whole day on my computer hehe [coolsudan]

I spent only 2-3 hours per day,, but it can be 11 hour if i'm playing online game [BlueGhost]

Well I spend around 12 hours in front of the computer every day on average, first of all I work in front of the computer, and after that I do the personal things that I need online, like pay bills, check emails, facebook, obviously being in my lot and other money making sites, I also do most of my shopping online, if I need shoes, clothes etc, I obviously don't do my grocery shopping online, but if I could I would totally do it. [laura_lmaxi]

I spend 9 hours everyday in front of my computer when I'm in the office plus 5 hours in front of my laptop at home. That's total of 14 hours a day. When I'm on rest day I still spend the same amount of time in front of my laptop. [Ladyslipper]

If this discussion was started in early 90's then it would be a nice one. But in today's world computer is every where. Like if we go to a grocery shop, or any malls after all the purchase we end up in seeing the computer at the billing counter. So life of the attender is full of computers all the day :-) In my case, I used to spend min 3 hrs on computer in the say time for surfing, online shopping, finding new things in electronic filed, mails and so on. And in the night I use to see movies for at least 2 hrs. So my 5 hrs of the day is filled with computers and this is exceptional in the weekend, as I need to spend some time with my family in the weekends and in festive days. :-) [visalusha]

I spend about 14 hours on the computer. I start out playing some games on MySpace. Then I play solitaire and get into writing stories and poems. Then I check my games, Facebook, Twitter, and MyLot. After noon, if I don't go out, I spend my time on MyLot and other money making sites. In the evenings I eat and watch Justin.tv, then I finish the evening by reading email and going to MySpace and Facebook. Starting tomorrow I'll be working online. [RobtheRock]

in front of the computer? let me count, four hours in the morning, four hours in the afternoon, four hours in the evening. gosh, is this what you call a computer-internet junkie?lol i have a regular work and it's actually an eight hour office work. i have a usb broadband that i can plug in at anytime and in any computer. i need computer with my work, database maintenance. and while at work i can also find sometime doing mylot, as my number one online favorite. actually, my number one and best site. lol after office, i also spend about four hours in front of my laptop. and again, keep logged on to mylot, my mails and chat, sometimes. so, how's that? an average of 12 hours in front of the computer? gosh rofl [neildc]

on the weekdays maybe an hour but on the weekends prolly 3 hours [jesoccer]

i spend most of my day in front of computer.As I have my website business,I have to work for may customers.in free time,i discuss something here or read emails [niponbharali]

for me i spend 8 hours a day in front of the computer, because this my life i am computer programmer. [brequiron]

I spend around 14-15 hours / day in front of computer. 9-10 hours of job + 4-5 hours at home. This is my week days schedule on week ends no work no computer.......... [esjosh]

I also spend about 4-6 hours, reading e-mail, working on my website, and now here on myLot too. I think I spend far too long in front of the computer, I try to cut down but I always have to much to do. I can't spend a day away from the computer, it's sad really but it's true. [timasma]

Hello.:-) If my husband isn't working and using the pc I am the one tinkering the keyboards for at least 5 hours.I used to play Yoville in FB but when I discovered Mylot, I mostly spent those times here.:-) I do check all my mails first and also do write articles for the sites of which I am also a member. During an insomnia attack, I believe I had spent 8 hours just checking on what's going on here at Mylot.LOL [eurekafemme]

computer is one of my best friends and i cannot live without it. i spend nearly 8-10 hours in front of it playing games and chatting and doing other fab things tooo. [rich_look]

5-6 hours, coz i m unemployed, downloading movies [jagades]

actually i am doing a job and its ovious to sit front of computer max 9 hrs. mor 10 to evening 7:00 so every time i have spent my time in front of computer. [richauni]

I am on the computer for about 3-4 hours every day. I don't tend to do it all at once though. I will be here for an hour or so and then go do some work (I work from home), or sometimes at weekend, go out for a while, and then return. I am on Twitter, Facebook, have a business website and 3/4 blogs. I love getting to know about people all over the world and the challenge of Internet business. happy_Derek [derek_a]

Now that I am retired I open my computer with my morning coffee and shut it down when I go to bed at night. I do not know the actual amount of hours I spend on the computer but it is a lot. [whiteheather39]

I got to admit I spend about 4-8 hours a day but not for time killing like games don't get me wrong in moderation games are ok to spend time playing as long as you get regular things done and the time is not taken from this issues. I however spend most of my time working on college and making money online as well. Twitter and things like this I do not spend much time on at all unless that is the only way I can communicate with friends and family after all our world is going to wasting time instead of making good on the time we have here on earth. Look at the mess we are in now in our country. What got us to this point? Not hard work that is for sure. And what are we doing to fix it? Not hard work. Give it a rest and do some hard work and maybe things will get better if not work harder nothing that is worth anything is got easy or it would not be worth it. [birdlady41465]

i spend all my free time on computer/internet as i work/operate my business from home so when ever there is time people will find me on net now my friend circle on the net is also large thanks to internet [polu1020]

I spend about 8 hours a day in front of the computer; It is not all at one time; It is scattered throughout the day taking breaks to do laundry, dishes and floors; but I do mylot, write articles and study for school; I am internet junkie also but it is all about making money and trying to get my Paralegal degree. [hagirl]

I am working in Software industry and work on computer for minimum 8 hrs a day. This involves customer deliverable jobs which has to be done in a time line so sometimes have to spend 12 or more hrs a day in office only. After that I use 2-3 hrs everyday at home for personnel use which is not possible at workplace for many reasons. All together it is more than 12 hrs a day in weekdays on computer for me. Its around 3-4 hrs on weekends because I get bored working on computer for so long. This is not recommended to work for so long. [AjaySinghBaghel]

I spend more than 5 hours, depending on my day. Yet, I have to pull away from it so as to not allow myself to become too addicted :) [palegemini]

i spend a lot of time in front of my computer, onlyprincess. it's my work desk and platform. on the internet, that's another matter. on the average, around an hour or two a day... and there's a catching up time when i pass on... [bystander]

The answer to this question really depends on the day. There are some days I spend a lot of time on the computer and other days I spend very little time. I guess it depends on how much other stuff i have to do in the day. I use the computer for entertainment, but also for money making, so that has dependence on how much I am on the computer. [cortney09]

hi only princess, i am also spending more than 4 hours daily for computer work,on sundays i spend more time and on holidays also i spend more time on computer,if iam out of my place and i have a computer with net facility,i use to stay at computer more than 12 hours that is my interest on computer,have a nice dayniceday [yugasini]

I usually spend about 2-4 hours on the internet every day. It usually just includes me checking my emails, going on to Facebook, checking out other various sites and myLotting :-) [Iram786]

I am probably around the same as you. 4 to 6 hours a day. I usually come online first thing in the morning between 5am and 6am and stop to get my kids ready for school at 7am. I then do a few more hours during the day as I run an online business from home and am always on and off the computer all day. niceday I then spend an hour or so at night on the computer, but sometimes this stretches into a 4 hour session at night. Some Saturday mornings I spend quite a few hours online too, researching various things or catching up on my website activity. I have a fast broadband connection, but this does not get me off the computer any quicker...LOL lol [RawBill1]

Too much! Probably at least 10 hours. [K46620]

Most of the days, I am on the computer, about 8 hours. I am an internet junkie also. I do many things all day. [Thoroughrob]

I spent nearly about 6-7 hours in front of my computer.A major part of this time is spent in mylotting. [saumitrakumar]

as a computer tech i spend about 8-10 hours per day infront of my pc, 4 hours repairing a clients pc and 6 hours doing PTC, [m1kong]

I could stay about ten to 12 hours a dya doing researches, writing things, and playing in facebook [mimiang]

Yes, I believe anybody mylotting is spending an average of 5+ hours. As I do use the internet at work as well for research, I'm basically on 10+ daily which I try to fit in mylotting, paid to click, blogging and e-mail. [thuhuong]

Well, my friend. As I've to rely on PC to earn my livelihood and browse the internet for checking mails, visiting paying sites like myLot et. al. I spend 7-8 hours a day before my computer. Of course, I spend some time roaming around to keep my body fit in the afternoon. Have a nice day.happy [faridmadeabillion]
