Question of the Day, January 14, 2011

[TheDarkestDerp]

Hmmm.... on my workdays I end up sitting in front of a screen for probably a good ten hours, with a few breaks interspersed to break it up. *winces* That sounds a bit more than two... Erf. On my days off I'm a bit more active though, clubbing and such. Maybe the two balance out?

 

[Dr Snakeman]

Any cause, huh? So, me spending almost all of my free time watching movies or going on the computer is more likely to get me hit by a car or shot by a mugger?

Good study.

Anyway, I don't care much if it will kill me faster, as I'm likely heading for an early death anyway. :/

Yeah, I'm thinking that that study is a load of bull. I mean, sure, it's not good for you to sit around all day and not exercise... but if just sitting a lot makes your untimely end more likely, then just about everyone ever is going to die when they're 50.

Depends on how much typable homework I have. I probably spend 2 hours a day on average doing work and entertainment on my computer, but I also spend several hours a day in class (today: 5 hrs) and several hours a day doing non-computer homework. On the other hand, I also train for ski racing 14 hours a week, so I don't know if the study is aimed at my health problems.

 

[Discon]

Not doing at least 6 hours is very hard in our society.

Besides computers and TV, there's few other activities for people who don't enjoy team sports.

 

[Vanbael]

Here's where I know I can trust The Onion, because they said that I would spend most of my life staring at glowing rectangles.

 

[TerribleAssassin]

A ridicolous amount.

About 3-4 hours of TV and 5-6 of PC, I need to get out more >_>

 

[Sad Face]

What a cruel question to ask us.

Considering I spend almost 5 hours a day sitting in a classroom, I'm already screwed. Factor in the assignments and school alone is going to kill me.
Also my job has me on a computer all day.

I'm suddenly a little sad.

 

[UltraDeth]

Is this hours combined or in one sitting?

 

[mb16]

well yesterday i played fallout NV for 12hours straight then played eve online for an hour then fallout for another 3. so im going to go for +6

 

[Croaker42]

Software tester....... so all day minus drive/sleep time.
Oh and meetings.

 

[Distorted Stu]

Far too long. Finished uni (stare at pc all day) and go home and continue staring at screens.

 

[Continuity]

12 hours around about, a little less at the weekend.

 

[blue spartan 11]

6+

Thank you school for reducing my health both mental and physical.

 

[MrTub]

Well since we use computers in every class in school and I like to play games, so I would guess atleast 12-13h a day?

 

[RabbiiFrystofsk]

We're all going to die...early.

 

[Formica Archonis]

I fix computers for a living. If I'm not staring at a computer screen I'm leaning over a half-disassembled PC or occasionally helping a customer. Much to the annoyance of my coworkers, if I have a wall of text to read through I just drop the resolution so everything's big, walk a bit away from the monitor, and then pace back and forth while reading it.

 

[Rofl-Mayo]

Anywhere between 4-20 a day. I should get a life, but at least being on a computer all the time keeps me informed.

 

[runnernda]

I work in IT Support, so a lot of my day is spent in front of the computer. I do work out six days a week, though, and I take every chance I get to walk around. Still, just about 7-8 hours of my day, at least, are spent in front of computer. I also watch a lot of TV.

 

[crudus]

I average maybe 10 hours a day.

 

[Ildecia]

on days I don't go to school; 6+.

on days i DO go to school... oh wait... i have my laptop open all the time.

so yeah like 10-14 a day.
