I'd say at least 12 hours per day without counting time spent on my Android device. Between working, personal emails, browsing, tv shows, etc. Not even counting time spent playing as it depends on the weeks

#22Oh boy, reading some comments on hours spent on weekends makes me feel like I have no life other than in front of computer!

#23I stand up(not sit down) over 8 hours, maybe more. I enjoy it a lot.
I also stand barefoot(very very important as normal footwear forces your weight over your toes, witch is bad for your knees and posture), and learnt how to stand in a right posture from books.
The first thing I do in the morning is exercise, and it really helps to boost my energy(it has to do with the lymphatic system).
It took me months to get the musculature in my legs, now in the subway I don't want to sit.

#24hmm from 9 - 5, excluding lunch is 7 hours. from 7 to 12 is another 5 hours, so 12 hours a day. if you got mobile devices, add another 1 hour, so that's 13.
I'd trade some of it for time with a real human being, preferably someone that feels soft :)

#25Having spent too many hours in front of a computer every day I've just moved to Granada in Spain to redress the balance a bit. Working from home I'm now in front of the computer about 4-5 hours a day. The difference in daily output is negligible.

#268-9 throughout the week. 2-3 on the weekends.
With these numbers, I'm not considering Hulu, which is my primary source of "brain: off" entertainment.

#27For me, I wake up around 9am and am at my computer until 2-3am everyday.
I usually take a 30m break to walk my dog and a 2hr gym excursion every other day. So most days I'm at my computer for 13 hrs at least :-) Got to love programming

#28Does standing in front of a computer also count?
You stand in front of your computer all day?
Not all day, I have a standing desk for my desktop PC, and my laptop on a normal table, and tend to alternate between them regularly. I have no idea whether it is healthier but for me it beats sitting all day.

#2912+ most days, with an hour commute each way in the middle- one hour computing, one hour commuting, nine hours computing, one hour commuting, two hours computing, bed. It's not the healthiest routine but it makes me productive as a network architect/engineer.

#30GREAT poll topic, was considering doing something similar to get some data for my startup FitBolt (fitbolt.com), which helps to address this sedentary computer lifestyle.
Me personally, 8-10 hrs a day for my fulltime job, usually take ~4 hrs off for super/gym/etc, then back on the computer until 2-4am. So ~14 hrs a day on weekdays. I try to stay off the computer as much as possible on the weekends to reset myself, but that doesn't always happen..
