Hi ,friends ,this is a very normal questin,but i am still a little curious,how long can you sit in front of your computer? As for me,i usually sit in front of my laptop for more than ten hours each day.I have just quit my job,so i have tons of time to post on Mylot and make money online.I usually can sit in front of my computer all day without feeing even a little tired,you can say i am addicted to work with my computer.And I feel good.Of course ,i know this would be very bad for my health,but i always forgot the time when i concentrate on my computer,so for now,i just let it be. What about you ,my friends?Please share with us,thanks and have a nice day. :)

Nowadays it is hard to survive without a computer.I had to work with a computer at office and I also love to be active in Mylot while I am at home. So,it is approximately almost 8 hours..I spend so much time in front of computer.It also hurts my eyes sometimes..So,when it hurts I switch off my computer and take a nap.It really works.

Hi,thanks for your sharing,lady. :) You said it,gazing at the computer long can relly hurt our eyes,so,switching off our computers once in a while to prorect our eyes is very necessary,you are very thougtful.Anyway,i think,sitting in front of a computer too long is indeed a bad habit,we should often leave it for a while and do some exercises,that would be less harm,and we can use our computers more happily . Have a nice day,happy mylotting.

Hello my dear fishkingback--heypanda at EziHippo? I guess so. I am surprised how come you found williamjisir here. It is interesting, huh? I am glad that we are friends here as well for more fun at myLot for the discussions. Well, if I have days off, I can sit at my laptop for as many hours as ten like you do. But if I have to work, I usually sit at my laptop after coming back from work. I love my laptop and I miss my friends here on the social sites, especially myLot. I know that it is not good for us to sit too long next to the laptop or computer as it will make us suffer from some kind of illness some day. To prevent this from happening, I stand up and walk in the room for a little while and then come back to it. lol. Take care and I am happy to see you here as my latest friend. Good day.

Hey ,friend,it's amazing. To be honest, I really did't expect that was you,my friend at Ezihippo.Thank god i use the same photo at both Mylot and Ezihippo,then you could know that Heypanda is me,what a coincidence! Would you mind telling me what your name is on Ezi? This afternoon,i was looking for the Top mylotters from china,you are rank 2,so i added you,haha,isn't it interesting?

The computer is a part of my daily routine and it would be unthinkable to live a life without computers. I am always online and I constantly check my websites. I also do mylot which generates some income for me. Cheers!!

I can spend in front of the computer the whole day if there is no office days. Resting a little while and go back again. Doing search, being in mylot, social networking site and in emails.

Oh,i think we should take more care of our health,working is important,but heath is more important,only if we have a healthy body,then we can do our job better,do you think so,my friend? :)

I can easily spend a lot of time on my computer. I really couldn't say exactly how much time, but I can easily say that I can spend several hours on my computer. Nowadays, we're somewhat dependent on out computers, either for work, for homework, or simply for our own pleasure.

I couldn't agree more.it seems that we can't live without a computer these days.We need to use our computers for doing almost anythings now.Sometimes ,i was thinking,if there were no computers in the world like the old days,then we could live a more healthy life,but you know,this is impossible.Since computers had been invented,the world totally changed. Thanks for your sharing,my friend,have a nice day here.

I believe we kind of are forced to these days, with technology being so big. Even while at school you are basically in front of a computer all day. I too have to do a lot of stuff in front of a computer all day so don't feel like your addicted or anything.

Hi,thanks for your sharing. You are right,nowdays,we have to use a computer in so many situations,it really became very important part of our lives.We have to use a computer to work,to study,to entertain ourselves,we can do almost everything with a computer,so,i think there is no reason we can reject computers.But,anyway,we should use it healthily,after all,health is important than anything.

Hey,friend,take care of your health. :) Working too late is so unhealthy,though i am a workaholic,i sometimes also consider i should have some break to decrease the harm for my computer.But i understand that,actually we often concentrate on our computers without realising how late it is,it is not so easy to control ourselves sometimes. lol. Thanks for sharing, my friend,have a nice day.

hi fishkingback.. I only sit in front of in the computer at least 2-3 hours sometimes 2-5 hours but i also tries 24 hour ones.. when i was addicted with online games I don't often use the computer because sometimes i am not satisfied using our personal computer.. because my brother usually use the computer just waste to play his stupid games in the net.. just wasting of electricity and a long bill and hi doesn't help at all.. I hardly hate my brother with that.. its so shameful that my mother hate me if i gonna use the computer for long hours even if i wasn't playing, its a big disappointment for me.. she doesn't support me either when it comes in computer thing... it will be just fell good to me if i have my own laptop to grab it anytime i want.. and there is no worries to be.. thank for opening this kind of discussion.. i can express some of my feelings here in mylot that is why i love here in mylot more power to all.. happy mylotting

Hi,remurt.I used to play the online games a lot and spent tons times on it,but as you know,it is a totally waste of time and we can get nothing from that at last except the harm of our health.I didn't mean that online games are completely useless,we have to adimt,they can entertain us ,but we should play it with measure. Moylot is a great website,keep working on it,and then you can get the money to buy a laptop.lol. Ok, thanks for your sharing,have a nice day then.

Good idea ,friend,we indeed need to oblige ourselves to leave the computer once in a while,or it maybe causes some diseases.Take care ,friend.

Hi Fishking. I work as a software engineer in an IT firm, and so my job starts and ends with a computer. So most of my time during the day is spent on a computer either in the office or at home. I suppose i work on the computer for almost 9 - 10 hrs a day. And i have seen that it has started to take its toll on me. The first few outcomes being increase in tummy size, increase in spectacle power to just name a few.... But i never seemed to get bored of the computer and i am like addicted to it. Now it has become just an integral part of our lives that i cannot believe a day without a computer and also the internet.... what are your thoughts?? do share them as well.....

I think i can sit infront of the computer for the most 10 hours and that is the most i can do so.The last time i did so was to finish up my assignments and it took me 10 hours to complete all four sets of assignments.As for surfing and playing games i can last for atleast 5 hours and then i need to take some rest to relax my eyes.SOmetimes overdose of using computer will damage the eyes badly and health will be severely affected.

I cannot sit in front of my computer straight for many hours since I cannot stay still all the time, even though I spend the day on the computer, I need to stand up and do other stuff for a while then go back to the computer and do other stuff etc.

I am also very much interested in computer. From my childhood I am very much passionate in computer. So I get very much interest in computer. And for this I never feel board in spending my time in front of computer. Rather I enjoy it. It gives pleasure, fun, education, entertainment and what not. I also surf net regularly, meet my friends though chat via internet. I have lots of friends globally. So,you can imagine that like you I am also a computer addicted.

About 5 hours I think.Though I'm a student but I can't live without computer!News and professional information all most get from my computer.So,every night I often sit in front of my laptop until I go to bed.
