Can you stay on an average of 20-24 hours a day in computer using internet?

I am worried about people who using internet at least 20 hours a day because of their health. It's WOW, what are you doing for 20 hours using an internet, mostly in surfing but in 20 hours I can't believe it. I know people using 10-15 hours a day because he doing for a work.

I couldn't stay on that long. My back and neck starts to hurt after a few hrs. I think the longest I've been on is probably 5 hrs. But, I get up and move around during that time so I'm not just sitting here for that long. I would get stiff and couldn't move if I sat that long. Happy lotting.

I could stay all day in front of the computer, but I don't.. after a hard day of 10 hours in front of the computer, later in the day I just want to rest.. to sleep.. Right now I'm very sleepy and I don't want to stay a minute more in front of the computer.. but I still have 3 more hours to work

I find 20 hours as exaggerating. It is too much and it is not good health wise. I think that more than 8 hours a day is more than enough.

I have done it- but it is not something I do everyday. Just once in a while. But I do work a 10 hour shift and use the internet while I am there. and then I come home and use my own competer for many more hours sometimes. so i could easily spend 18 hours on the internet with a few breaks in between. Mainly I am using them to check out my sites where I make money and to promote -to earn more ooney- so it is like I am "working" my part-time job even while I am at my Full-time job :)

About a week back I spent around 15 hours continuously in front of my comp. I was creating my first blog and was really exited. I couldn't wait to publish it. If someone like a software engineer using computer for more than 12 hours is applicable but I myself spend more than 6-7 hours daily. Its really addictive. Before I used to play games for long hours but now I'm not much into gaming. I spend most of the time surfing the net or making money from sites. It really has a very bad impact on one's health. I myself can feel the effects on my body with my eye sight getting worse day by day. Its really essential to take small breaks every half an hour and do few stretching exercises.

Welcome to mylot erishe! I am someone that is generally at a computer for around 10 hours or so at least 5 days a week because of my work, but there is NO way I could handle 20 hours a day! This would be a physical impossibility for me and I would be likely to pass out on top of my keyboard!

I work from home. And I do not spend that kind of time on the computer. If I did it would hurt my family. Not to mention the condition of my house. I think people need to be reminded everything in moderation.

i really cant believe that people browsing for so long time and might be you can find those kind of persons very few. but i really dont know anyone browsig for so long. do they eat and sleep or not? i think if they do this they are sure to fall sick and it will really effects them dont you think so? i can hardly manage for few hours and i feel only that much is effecting my health and my eyes. and i think if the person works online then too i dont think that they can work for such long hours.
