    Not much to be honest, I spend 3 hours tops. If you compare that to the 12 to 16 hours I used to spend on it before it's nothing. I was usually playing games, searching google for anything I was interested in or watching anime and tv shows. Lately I don't feel the need to be on a computer anymore and spend more time reading or studying.

    It depends on how my day is,or what day it is, I'm a student, and so, when I have classes on specific days, I will spend around 5-6 hours on the computer for that day, when I don't have classes, I will spend about eight hours and the computer for that day,and on the weekends,I spend about 10 hours and the computer. During the holidays, I will spend about 15 hours on the computer. Fifteen hours is the most I will spend on the computer for any given day.

    I definitely spend more time than is healthy sat at the computer. I am a full-time freelance writer so I work from home on the computer. I use my online banking on a daily basis. I do a lot of my shopping online and enjoy playing games when I am not working.

    I can't stay for more than one to two hours in front of my computer before I get exhausted. I quickly reach my limit, and need to get up and spend a few hours doing something else, before I can return and finish any work that I have to get ready for the next day. If I don't listen to my body, I actually get joint pains and a feeling of being spaced out and disconnected from everything, which feels awful.

    At least 8 hours and probably more to be honest. We don't do much here. I watch TV a few hours a day and even then I have the Internet on my phone. Other than that it's just taking care of the animals, on the Internet or talking to my roomies.

    It's well over 12 hours for me daily. I work as a server engineer, so that's an easy 8-10 hours a day in front of my computer screen. Then once I get done work I'm still on the net, watching shows or surfing. It's almost scary when you think about the eye strain we must be putting on our eyes with that amount of focus on a screen.

    I work as a freelance writer, and due to the demands of my work, I sit in front of my laptop computer for about 8 hours a day, plus 4 hours for personal browsing purposes, so overall, I am on the cyberspace for 12 hours daily. No wonder why I always get bad headaches.

    About 6-8 hours, quite a lot of it due to work, but I also use my computer for gaming and surfing the net.

    Ever since I started working online, I have been spending anything between 10-12 hours a day on the computer. Of course, I take breaks in between to avoid computer fatigue. I spend most of the time trying to earn a few dollars here and there, and sometimes I also do some research to try and find better paying online jobs. I used to spend nearly that amount of time messing around online doing nothing really, so at least now I'm actually getting something for it.

    I work through the computer and the Internet, so I spend quite some time online each day. I can't afford to not be connected to the Web and getting some work done. I don't mind it, though, and my eyes never really become sore or anything while using computers. It's what I grew up on anyways!

    For laptop, I usually used it for around an hour or 2. I mostly do my computer tasks in PC as part of my job. I only uses my laptop for facebook and other social media sites updates.

    I work from home too and spend 10+ hours at the computer daily. I've got it set up in the lounge so I can talk to my OH at the same time. Thankfully, he's not too distracting!
