Computer Hours

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Simple as the title says - how long do you guys spend time on the computer (includes games, hw, surfing, etc).</p>

<p>I'm freshman, and barely have any work to do, so really I'm on the computer like 5~6 hours a day playing games all day. On the weekdays. Like this year all I've been basically doing is games...Lol. Probably will have to reduce it to like 3~4 soph year or something. Dunno yet.</p>

<p>On weekends, like 7~8 hours. Now that it's summer...</p>

<p>Other than games, it's AIM, email, random sites, blogging, myspace, etc.</p>

<p>What about the rest of you?</p>

2

<p>wow..... you sir have alot of free time in your hands.</p>

3

<p>During summer, about 4-5 hours (mostly late at night).</p>

4

<p>a lot.......</p>

5

<p>Too much... but mostly in the morning before everyone's awake or really late at night when everybody's asleep. (I don't sleep that much.)</p>

6

<p>It's insane. I get on my laptop within half an hour of waking up and shut it down only when I go to bed.</p>

<p>Considering that my school does not permit the use of personal laptops in class, I spend around 5-6 hrs on school days, and maybe 7 more hours nowadays.</p>

<p>I know, I have no life.</p>

7

<p>Depends what I'm doing that day. And there might be a situation like [url=<a href="http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/duty_calls.png%5Dthis%5B/url"&gt;http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/duty_calls.png]this[/url&lt;/a&gt;].&lt;/p>

8

<p>^lol. i too spend an unnecessary amount of time on the internet</p>

9

<p>I have to do Florida Virtual School so naturally I'm on a lot. Most of it is used to goof off-though.</p>

10

<p>Lawl. During the school year, like 8-9 hours/day on weekdays. During weekends and the summer, I actually do stuff, so a little less.</p>

<p>I'm always multitasking, though, so it's not like 9 hours of NOTHING BUT computer.</p>

11

<p>I'm in college, and I spend about 8 hours on the computer.</p>

12

<p>I have a computer on near me about 99% of my time.</p>

<p>...when I'm out and about my cell phone keeps me online :(</p>

13

<p>too much...</p>

14

<p>My computer is the central managing system of my life. My Firefox is fully customized with notifications for Yahoo!, Gmail, Facebook, and other communications. I almost never use my cellphone unless I'm making a call, and you will get a reply within 5 minutes if you contact me with any of the communications mentioned above.</p>

<p>I usually can't sleep more than 4-5 hours so I manage everything overnight. I'm always organized that way.</p>

15

<p>now that its summer..10 hours a day or more.</p>

16

<p>Yeah, the games are too addicting. I should cut down. T.T</p>

17

<p>During the school year: 3.5hrs/day at school and 5-7hrs at home</p>

<p>Summer: Logged on 24/7, but I usually spend about 12 hrs actually using it</p>

<p>I wish I could figure out how much of this time is productive. There was an app that I used to use called RescueTime that would tell how much time you spent on various websites and in which applications, but I uninstalled it for some reason. I could see it being useful for monitoring my productivity again.</p>

18

<p>During the school year, 3-9, depending on homework load and amount requiring use of computer. Same on weekends, because I sleep in. It tends towards the higher side though.</p>

<p>During summer, 3-12, depending on how much I worked, what we did, and how tired I am.</p>
