    Interesting question, given how often people use their computers nowadays. How much time do you spend on the computer personally? What do you usually do when you're using it (browsing the internet, playing games, etc)?

    Too much.

    Just kidding. On the computer, I'd say anywhere from 3-8 depending on if I draw that day. I use it for mainly the aforementioned drawing, checking on Deviantart and LV, and for the most part, games. But I personally use my tablet a hell of a lot of time for primarily youtube.

    Totally not constantly!
    ...
    8-10 hours on weekend days...

    BUT ONLY LIKE, 5, ON WEEKDAYS.

    I mostly check all my usual sites, like LV and DeviantArt, and watch videos on YouTube. I will sometimes spend a long time playing some games such as the Sims, but yeah, I mostly use it for this sort of thing.

    I'm not going to lie.

    About 99% of the day I'm on my computer. On school days I'll say around 50%.

    I actually don't set a timer on it, but it is entirely accurate to say that if I'm not out driving or socialising with real-life friends, or on campus for work or school, I'm at my computer. I even take my meals at my desk.

    The reason for this is pretty simple: all of my schoolwork and other assignments are done with my computer or over the Internet, and the vast majority of my friends are across the Internet (including here and many other places besides). The only other time when I wouldn't be on the Internet and also at home is if I had some very serious school studying to do, such as for upcoming exams or presentations.

    Speaking of which, please excuse me.

    I'm pretty much constantly at a computer now, unless I go out with a friends/family for the day. My work is all done via computer too so it's the same across weekdays and weekends.
    I'll take off-time to play games and such but it feels pretty much the same, sitting in front of a screen of some kind and all. My eyes are probably suffering, haha..
    Gotta go back to the opticians and get new glasses >>

    It actually depends. With getting into higher classes, the pressure of studies is increased but its not that I totally forgot about computers. Whenever I am free I come online but since I dont use internet much, I use my computer for coding. In total if I take, I use computer 5-6 hours per day. Dont ask about mobile~

    About 10 hours, but it can lessen if I have a lot to do that day.

    Hmm. Let's see... I hop on around five on school days, staying on until eleven, so that's six hours a day on school days. And I'm on most of the day during weekends, so I'd give that about... nine hours? So, 6(5)+9(2)= 48. I spend forty-eight hours on my computer per week.

    And that's not including when I hop on a computer a school.... I need a life...

    Hah I figured we'd have these sorts of replies! Being on the computer is way addicting.

    To answer my own question though.. I used to be a lot like some of the responses here. Would spend nearly all of my waking time on the computer doing various things, from playing games to drawing or just browsing forums/watching shows, but since I work full time nowadays my computer usage has dwindled down to 2-3ish hours per weekday. When I'm home and not shopping/doing chores/at work, I spend a looot more time using the computer. Mostly browsing forums like LV. Sometimes I even mindlessly start clicking tabs when I can't find anything to do or play... lol.. which is probably a sign that I need to get away and find something else to do. D: /flail

    That's a decent question. With work having me on a computer I am on a computer about 8-14 hours a day. It changes with how tired I am and if I wanna be on my computer when I get off work. Usually though I do wanna be on my computer haha.

    I used to be about most of my day due to my online course for school and for music and story writing either here on LV, Wattpad or Fanfiction.Net but that has now been cut down considerably. Now that I have a puppy I am more on my feet so I'd presume 3-5 hours.

    If not for school work, I've actually been "dewiring" myself from using the computer and things of the like too much...so I'd say there are some days where I don't touch it at all, and others (when I'm drawing or writing) I can spend up to 3-4 hours. When I do use it, it's mostly for playing games, reading, using forums, or publishing my work. I also don't use social media except Reddit.

    I don't really go on my computer very often (phones are a different case though), but when I do, I can stick around for hours! XD I usually browse through the internet (YouTube, manga sites, anime sites and of course LV) and play games.

    i dont go on as often as i used to when i was younger (trust me, i would spend almost all day and night on the laptop back in high school) but once i graduated i spent less time on the laptop and more on my ipod. i tend to mostly browse on my laptop later at night for some reason. or the middle of the day. for an hour estimate though i'd have to say..maybe 2-3 hours at the most?
