How many hours a day do you spend on the computer? - Page 2 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

hobo · 08-11-2003, 06:28 PM

In the summer I spend 12-24 hours a day on the computer. I don't program very much so the description for me is more like "My computer and I merged a long time ago."

During school times, I spend maybe 6 hours a day on the computer.

Hrothgar · 08-11-2003, 06:29 PM

All I can say is my PC has cost me a couple of relationships. Screw it though I'm still happy spending 12+ hours on my PC then dealing with a hormonal female that just doesn't get my love of the internet.

kbc8090 · 08-11-2003, 06:34 PM

7hrs @ work then about 6hrs @ home. Yet I still have a life somewhere mixed in there

Leviathan[NCV] · 08-11-2003, 07:16 PM

Yes, I'm a programmer, so fuck you

Long hours are part of the job.

Fremen · 08-11-2003, 08:46 PM

You mean it comes with an off switch?

fuzzix · 08-12-2003, 04:57 AM

Probably average about 9 hours a day, too long really.

Othello · 08-12-2003, 05:14 AM

8 Hours at work then I can go home and spend 2-3 hours easily on my home pc.

Vyk · 08-12-2003, 06:27 AM

way too long

it varies from 8 to 12 a day though on a 'bad day' I'm on it longer. tend to be a little obsessive compulsive sometimes which doesn't help

eyeronic · 08-12-2003, 11:05 AM

I'm such an f'n junkie. 5-6 hours probably and that's not including work.

actionplant · 08-12-2003, 11:39 AM

I'm a dispatcher at work, so all my work hours are spent on it, and then do design and styling at home. I spend upwards of 14 hours a day on the computer and STILL somehow find time to maintain several relationships, drive all my vehicles, take care of several pets and play on my Xbox, as well as keep my house clean. I'm still not sure how I accomplish all of it...it'd be interesting to have someone log my day and find out.

skippy · 09-08-2003, 02:57 PM

My computer has a name of it's own now.... thats a sad sad thing. I need to get a life here .... or perhaps this is a life? I dunno I just like that way I am....

krwlz · 09-08-2003, 04:23 PM

If I had 12 hours to spend on the comp...(weather being shitty...) this is where I would be. Fortunatly school solves that problem for me.

bundy · 09-08-2003, 07:31 PM

ok, so in my case, i find that if i´m on the computer for more than about 4 hours, then my back gets really sore.
so i try to limit myself to less than that... but sometimes that is impossible, esp when i´ve got deadlines.

too much, for me is spending more than 4 hours.

dr_clocker · 09-08-2003, 07:49 PM

I use m computer less than I used to. Oh, ya I forgot im not in school anymore and got a job

JazzmanAl · 09-08-2003, 07:51 PM

I live here, and take short vacations to the real world.

BuddyHawks · 09-08-2003, 08:43 PM

2-7 I'm on whenever I'm in my dorm room.

meff · 09-12-2003, 07:34 PM

Way way way too much.. egh.
And most of it here

Xiangsu · 09-13-2003, 05:34 PM

I could go without it fine, I would miss it though. I'm usually on about 2-7 hours in a day.

Lyaec123 · 09-13-2003, 06:53 PM

and I don't even use the computer for work... haha, but between TFP, JU, Fullsizechevy.com, both my emails, fark.com, and www.slickdeals.net, I have very little freetime

KUGR · 09-14-2003, 09:44 PM

Need an option for "too long"

oberon · 09-15-2003, 08:53 AM

I'm a computer engineering major. What the heck do you expect? 7-12 hours a day for me is pretty accurate. Sometimes it is 12-18 hours but there are some days it's less than 7 as well. I'm a programmer, so why don't you blow me.

iamjero · 09-15-2003, 08:55 AM

I would love to learn to program. Im sure I will have to learn some anyway when I get into college so I am going to start early.

fallen_angel · 09-15-2003, 09:14 PM

im usually on because i have alot of homework that is on the computer and i just love thinking that i am connected to millions of people, even if its 3 am and no one is on my buddy lists, i just dont feel as alone.
