8-10 hrs. Mon thru Fri for work, more if I have a heavy workload with deadlines to meet. At home or on weekends I tend not to turn on my computer and if I do I usually spend no more than 2 hrs on it.

 

[Quaddy]

too much by far, but less now than ever

Software developer trying to get a new product off the ground. Too many hours to count.

 

[konceited]

Close to 8 hours a day. :O

 

[ecclesand]

Computers are my livelihood, so I spend a lot of time in front of one....10-12 hours per day. Most of the time I have 3 going at the same time....2 desktops and one laptop...I like to multitask.

What sad "lives" we lead.

 

[nutkicker]

When I'm not outside or doing some work, I'm almost always on a computer.

 

[btag]

Pretty much when i'm not sleeping

 

[NeObliviscaris]

[ianp]

it helps to have square eyes and to be able to touch type!

 

[krmathis]

Too much.
Cause my wrist hurts a bit once in a while.

 

[iKonoKlast]

Get a wrist pad. The kind filled with beads work well for me, they wrap around your wrist and support it very nicely. So comfy.

I also want to say that there are a LOT more people than I expected who said they're on the computer more than 10 hours a day. That is just kind of insane, because I thought people like me who spend that much time were not so common.

Is it just because we're a forum full of geeks? How often do you guys go out and get active? I know for a lot of you, being on the computer is part of your job, but what about the rest of you?

 

[guyx1992]

6-8 hrs for me :O
I learn at high school computer science and we're learning C# so I need to practice it very often.
I have a final at the 28th :X

 

[Exediron]

It's quite variable for me. Some days I only do about 4 hours between about 10 PM to 2 AM, and other days a lot more. My current record is still from when I was reinstalling all my software after I reformatted my computer, and I had to do it all in 2 days. I used that thing for almost 30 hours straight worth of listening to music from my MacBook and clicking the 'Install' button on prompts.

I picked 6-8, because it's an average after all.

 

[BayouSlide]

Have pretty much lived in a room full of computers for years...home office...so it's for work, for research, for fun. Six hours + on the average day, 12 + on more intense days. At it's absolute craziest, it may have hit 18 hrs. on an occasion or two. Hardly any days would be less than 1 1/2 - 2 hrs except those "get out of town" vacation days.
