A day will never pass if we don't sit back in front of our computer... We face our monitors, make our fingers busy typing the keys, and that mouse won't ever leave our site..... But how long have you been staying in your Computer?... My latest record breaking for now is 14 hours.... i was just busy on Mylot and some other social networking sites... beside those, I am downloading some movies and games too.... For some people, especially students and online workers, would almost stay more than 24 hours, is it?.... What is the longest you've got there?... and that would a world record then... ;)

I need to stay with my computer for 10-12 hours daily. I am a software engineer and I cant do anythin without a computer :) Maximum I have stayed with my lappy is some 15-16 hours. Sometimes I really fear about my fingers getting affected by any problem. Also I have made a pot belly of my waist, thanks to my work and my lappy.

I've sat in front of the computer for extended periods of time because I've been trying to make money online or because I've wanted to work on scrapbook pages. However, I really can't stay in front of the computer for a very extended period of time because of the fact that I have to get up and move from time to time because I get very stiff or I need to use the bathroom or anything like that which will take me away from the computer for at least a few minutes.

Trying to create a World Record by sitting in front of your computer continuously is NOT a very 'wise' thing to do. There are many other Records you can attempt to break, but not by sitting in front of Computer. Obviously, my lot is very addictive. So, I sit in front of my laptop for maximum time, only when I am doing my lot. Say, a maximum of 4 hours, with a break in between of 15-30 minutes. The other thing which I do and I recommend other to do as well, is , to take a walk around the office/house every 1 hour or so. This will give rest to your eyes, hands, brain and refresh you.

I don't know who many hours is my record. I never count it. You know, everyday I'm sitting and using my computer like everyone does usually. I'm staying in front of computer in the morning (about 8-9AM) till 10 AM. After that, I must go to work, then, in the evening start from 6PM to 12AM I use computer again. Just count it, baby.

it depends, brynnerson. sometimes i just drop by to check my emails, not even bothering to answer them. so, a few seconds to a few minutes. that's it. but other times, i work on my computer for two straight days -- having naps in between, of course -- without shutting down the machine. that's when i have to meet certain deadlines and finish some complex works that involve writing and a lot of graphics. but in surfing the internet, mood plays a critical role.

For me, everyday is a computer day. I won't be at peace if I cannot touch any computer or check and surf the net. Well, for some reasons it's already a habit to check the net everyday. When I wake up in the morning, I plug on my computer to see what's happening on that day. Go to work, still use PC, and go home after work still using it. For my estimate, I use the computer 18 hours a day or if I'm still awake and that takes me 21hours but not all the times.

I stay a minimum of eight hours per day in front of a computer. My work consist of teaching computers so it is part and parcel of my job and I cannot do without it. My part time job also consist of working online, updating sites. I do most of the things on the internet, from internet banking to chatting, to reading news and keep up to date with my hobbies by browsing online. Unfortunately internet is very addictive.

Well, as for me I think my record breaking is around 30 hours, when I transferred a big important file to someone, and it lasted 30 hours to finish the transfer. the internet connection was too slow but we had no choice but wait until it finished. we didn't expected it to be that long..although i took a nap in between hours and him also after me. but computer was really on for that long, and after that I really didn't use my computer the whole day..I felt like computer needed a rest too..LOL..and me of course!

Well, I stay 8-10 hours in front of the computer in the office because of my work then when I get home, I also get online for about 4-5 hours doing online jobs and surfing the net just for fun. That makes it about at least 15 hours a day and the rest, I try to sleep and do some things around the house...:)

As far as I am concerned, I think the tie that I get on the Internet will be a not so sure data. If I have a lot of free time, I think I will just spend a lot of time on the Internet ,maybe the whole afternoon, maybe the whole day. It all depends. Sometimes it still can be just an hour.

I am on and off all day. At night I stay on for a few hours. That is why I started this group. I still have dial up and my phone will not ring if I am on during the day. Call before 9 or get a buzy signal.
