Do you open your computer upon waking up and after coming home from work/school?

I really hate to say this but it seems like my life is governed by my computer. I have a lot of balance in my life but I spend so many hours on the computer at work and home I feel we're joined at the hip. I won't jump on the computer as soon as I get up but given some wake up time and I'll be ready for the routine of checking personal messages and (like you) checking social sites I belong to. If I'm in the mood I'll browse the news; local, national and international. Once I'm at work I'm back on the computer for a good portion of my day. Some business, some pleasure. It depends upon the sort of work load I have that day. Because I'm on the computer constantly, I don't always jump on it when I get home after work. Sometimes I will but usually I need some down time away from modern technology LOL. I am very guilty when it comes to staying up quite late. This is when I find it most relaxing to address my personal communications. I am also extremely creative in the wee hours of the morning. I guess you can call me a Computer Vampire. ‹(°¿°)›

I'm SAHM. My computer gives me the chance to have a little escape from household and childcare duties, and some adult talk, lol. Wouldn't be able to survive otherwise. It's also a source of revenue for me. It's on pretty much all day and a take a couple of minutes here and there to check up on emails, friends, messageboards, or work.

ya i will on my computer everyday and every morning i ill download the latest movies and i ill download the latest songs and many more stuff...for me its free up to morning eight from night two...

I am sitting around 10 hour per day. Without computer life? we can not think now-a days. Everybody need to know computer operation and must take advantage of it.

I normally keep my laptop on 24 hours, even when I'm sleeping. I only switch it off if I'm away from my house. I'm an IT programmer and an investor, so I need to keep myself connected with all the news as much as possible. :D

well, i usually don't shut down my computer... it's running for 24/7 because every hour, i got some money by keep online... so i won't turn it off unless my computer gets really crapy and slow in opening the windows then i re-boot it... but usually when i come back, i check my mails, friendster updates and moderate a forum... that's how my days are going on...

Well, since I have an online business, I do get online first thing in the morning; or at least when my eyes adjust lol. What I do is check my e-mails and see if there is any correspondence I need to attend to. Then I do my promoting for the morning on classified sites, traffic exchanges, forums, and safelists. Then I come back to my e-mail and check my MyLot notifications and my feed, to see if there is any discussions that are of interest, and if there are people that I can promote to, blackhat of course lol.

hello sunbeams I usually keep my PC on so I can access it as soon as I wake up and when I come back form university.. I can't stand a long time without my PC have a good time

Well, I do the same as you. Usually I sleep late at night to do some online earning, post on my blog or submit some articles. I also check on my emails. Before going out for work, I check my emails and thats just it. I do not have time to do other things. I go back with the same routine in the evening. My day job actually does not give me the pleasure of using the internet.

Same here. I have always got to be connected. But that's the nature of my life. I've chosen a profession that requires me to have internet access all day everyday. When clients need me, I'm there. But that means I do a lot of "Not related to work" stuff.
