What's the longest you have spent on the computer? Do you get on the computer everyday? Do you ever get headaches from being on the computer and have to get off? Well I occasionally do, or I will get lightheaded or fidgety and just have to get off. Some days I could spend hours on the computer and it not bother me at all, other days I could spend an hour and I have to get off because I am so irritated. How many of you have jobs that you are on the computer majority of the time? When you do get on the computer, What do you do mostly, or is a combination of everything? When I get on I usually check my email, request some samples, sign into the money making websites I am in and do what I need to do on them and then maybe play a few games. That's usually about it. Occasionally I will look at clothes or just surf. How about you?

I do 10-12 hours everyday. No headaches, but I have heard that most come from reading the very small print. I use 1.5X glasses to read and while on the computer.

A bigger monitor would probably have the same effect.

I think 8 hours shall be the longest I have ever stayed on computer. The first thing I do is check mails, because I do get mail from most things that regist on when there is something new and then will I logg on msn to see if there is any friends that I want talk with, after all these will I start to check on these making money website and look in other forum or website that I go to daily.

I played on the computer and don't eat anything for 16 hours in one day. I think it is not good for my body so I do not do it again.

I use my computer everyday, i usually use it for a couple hours, maybe 4-5 hours/day, sometimes can be more or less, depends on my needs. I used it to check email, looking for stuffs, selling my stuff also. I usually have problem with my eyes, if it's too tired after a couple hour watching the monitor, i take a break, leave the computer, do the other stuff, if it's already over midnight, i go to sleep :)

Yep, I am on the computer between 8 and 16 hours per day. I do take frequent breaks to eat, sleep, excercise, etc, but yeah a great deal of my life is spent on the computer. I run 3 websites a screencap (picture) site, an online store and still have oodles of time to chat away here on Mylot, lol. Sometimes I get headaches and pull myself a way for a bit, take some tylenol or hubby and I go out for a meal. Usually that helps and then I am right back on again...

I'm on the computer at an average of 16 hours a days. This is both work and play. At work, it is usually around 8-9 hours. It's mostly email and a couple of reports. At home, I do a lot. Visit my favorite web pages, play games, practice programming, listen to music, watch movies, talk to relatives (via webcam), chat, and much much more. Sometimes a day isn't enough to complete all these for me. Been doing that for more than 10 years. :D

The longest has been around 16 hours non stop with pee breaks only. That was after my exam when I completed 10 movies at a stretch. I always get on computer everyday. I had not internet in my home PC , till recently. 2 months back I installed internet at home. It has an unlimited 2mbps download time from 2AM to 8AM . So I sleep around 11.30 . Wake up at 2 AM. Start my torrent downloads and uploads and surf along. Recently I have to cut short as my exams are only 30 days ahead. But is good for my health. As I was having reeling of head due to insomnia. But I could not help . If I wake up any thing later than 2 AM I felt as if I am loosing a lot. So in short I am addicted. I have no work with computers except entertainment. One of my friends told me to look for mylot as it is a cool place to hang out. When I discovered how good this thing is I am now experimenting in different things apart from movies. I do the following. 1. Torrents upload and downloads 2. Rapidshare downloads 3. Mylot 4. Surf 5. distrowatch 6. Various forums 7. Ebay 8. I have never played online games but will try.

I think the first week I got my first computer was my longest time spent. I was twelve at the time and it was the week of Christmas break. I think I literally only moved to use the bathroom. I had all of my meals made for me and placed next to me. I was, and still am, addicted to the internet and my computer games. I try to spend my time working on my writing my stories and my songs. Sometimes I need to play a game or read to take a much needed break.
