Weekend Open Forum: How much time do you spend on the PC daily?
Computers have been an integral part of my life for at least the past 10 years or so. I spent an exuberant amount of time on my PC as a teenager before the Internet was the popular destination that it is today. Things died down a bit while I attended college but after I decided that wasn’t the right path for me, I headed right back to the trusty computer in search of making a living.
Between TechSpot duties, running my own tech site and casual web surfing, it’s not unusual to log upwards of nine hours a day in front of my screens. That number drops a bit on the weekend as I try to get out and do some stuff in the real world, however.
With this week’s open forum, we are curious as to how much time you spend on the computer during the course of an average day whether it’s for business or pleasure.

It depends what you mean by a PC? At the end of the day, all of the devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, are really "personal computers" in one form or another.
I can't be without them so I'm pretty much always connected u less I'm sleeping.

A good 8 to 10 hours a day normally. Tried to cut down but it's not easy.
-
Too much time, I'm ashamed to admit how much.
-
Typical day around 11 - 12 hours, sometimes more like yesterday over 15 hours (work)

I'm permanently plugged into the Matrix. Although if I'm killed in the Matrix, I'm usually still alive in the physical, but with a heightened frustration because I'm no longer in the Matrix.

Probably around 10 hours a day during work/school week. Which is 6/7 days lol. Sundays I usually sleep so no computing for me.

Longest spent on a PC straight (Bathroom breaks obviously included and eating at my computer) 40-48 hours at Lan Parties easily. Last night was on it for probably close to 10 hours. On average however is different, maybe 3 hours a day, 6 on weekends if I'm not going anywhere.

I think asking this question of people who comment on <I>tech blogs</I> gave it a fairly predictable outcome. My answer, btw, is 1-10 hours, leaning towards the latter number most days. I'm not proud of it, but there it is.

As my pc is my main entertainment center, probably 12 hours...
I watched tv shows over it.

8hrs of work + gaming + movies + studies = crap load of time in front of the PC.
The average is like 10 hors a day, but can range from 4 to 20.
-
During the weekday about 12 hours a day probably, 9 of them at work.
During weekends anywhere from 0 to 12 hours depending on what else is going on...

I have no idea who these folks are who send out these stats about PC use.
I spend at least five hours per day on my PC at home because I play allot of driving games online. and that's not including the weekends
And at least eight hours per day at work. -

A lot less than I used to. I no longer slide into bed at 4am after a night at the keyboard downloading new programs and playing with new emulators.
-
I totally ignore my computer on weekdays, unless I have some research to do. On weekdays however, almost all day. XD
-
During working days around 8 hour in office and around 4 hours at home, that makes around 12 hours! In total around 75 hours per week!

I do college on a computer, I am applying for computer related jobs and when I am home my entertainment hours are spent on the computer. So hmm 10+ hours if I don't go out.

About 8-10 hours with breaks every 20 mins on weekdays due to my work as a android developer and extra services(rooting , unbrick, upgrades etc ). On weekends about five hours at most..... average around 3hours
-
I work as a programmer and I use my computer for nearly all my entertainment needs from netflix to warcraft, in the week it's got to be close to 13 or 14 hours a day, weekends usually a lot less.
-
Like many others I work with computers, so I spend most of my day with one. I think that my PC time has been reduced somewhat since I'm married with kids, but I probably still spend around 10 hours a day in front on a PC on weekdays.

Unfortunately 12-15 hours a day...:'(
