How much time do you spend on the computer every day?

[Joe Fields]

Do you find it dominating your life?

1. is this the quiz where ones find out if they are an addict?

i think i qualify. :cry:

[Joe Fields]

4. I do too. I'm just askin'.

But I guess a lot of people around here are sensitive to the subject for various reasons.:hug:

[wildhorses]

9. i need to find a job where i get paid for screwballing on the

'pooter...have any positions available:P

[Joe Fields]

10. we could try every position, and see what suits you...

:evilgrin: :loveya:

[wildhorses]

11. hmmmmm....

'69 was a very good year;)

[Joe Fields]

12. that was one of my favorite years, too!!!

How are you at fixing hard drives?:rofl: :loveya:

[wildhorses]

13. depends ---

would you mind, to take a look at my mainframe...

[Joe Fields]

14. I would be happy to perform a thorough examination...

and give you my input...:9

[wildhorses]

15. let me just go over all

the data to make sure we are not missing anything:o

[Joe Fields]

16. hmmmm.....your mainframe seems to be running a little hot....

this could take some time...:wow:

2. You need to consider

that some of us work here.

[Joe Fields]

3. what exactly does that mean?

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. Means some of us aren't just diddlin' around

when we're online at home — it's part of our job. So it isn't fair to brand us "addicted" because we spend a lot of time at the computer.

8. This thread has nothing to do with work related usage.

But since you brought it up, I wonder how many people here(who are at work) log on to du on company time?

5. If you work in an IT job, of course it's going to be more than six hours

Maybe you could have asked, other than for work - how much time do you spend on the computer.

Cheers

[Joe Fields]

6. I suppose I could have been more precise, but I think the way I

worded my poll has an implied understanding that I do not mean work related usage.

17. lately not very much

I am back on a reading jag, which is worse than computering for me. Once i put my nose in a book I only come up to eat, sleep and work, until I'm finised with that book. It's way more consuming that the internet, lol. :hi:

[Joe Fields]

22. Yeah, you can really get engrossed in a book, whereas you can do

many things at once on a computer.:toast:

[idgiehkt]

24. yep, it's really starting to interfere with my sleeping

I take the books to bed and read them until like 5:00 in the morning...I just can't wait to find out how it ends...even if I know how it ends, like with the Scott Peterson book. I might need an intervention, lol.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

18. More than 6 hours Monday - Friday...

because I design computer applications for a living.

[bigwillq]

19. A lot.

Most of it is because of work but I still spend a few hours just chatting on DU or myspace and other sites like that.

[Adsos Letter]

20. I'm a multi-tasker...

...so I chose the last one.

It isn't really all that difficult, although my wife finds the monitor distracting...

:D

[Joe Fields]

21. I would suppose that depends on where it is placed!!! lol

:D

[SarahB]

23. 1/2-1 hour at home

I spend more time at work, but I'm not online hangin'. I'm charting meds and looking up lab results.

25. Anyone who spends enough time on a computer watches enough porn to know what sex is.
