How much time do you spend in front of a screen?

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


As a parent, I always have the feeling that my kids spend too much time in front of a screen. Of course, this is often a subject of discussion and also of conflict. Yesterday, my son told me „but Dady, you spend even more time than me on screens...“. I decided to contradict him and made some calculations, just to realize that he was actually quite right... That led me to the question of the mission for today:

How much time do you spend in front of a screen every day

I am sitting here adding up the time and I spend
entirely to much time in front of a screen.

Between what I do here on Hive and a few other things
that I mess with and then just time searching the web,
then you can add on gaming.

Depending on the day of the week and how much offline
work I do I spend anywhere from 4 to 8 hours a day in
front of a screen.

Sometimes, I think that people who have real offline jobs are doing better with screens. When accumulating an onscreen job with hive and games... the screen time can become pretty impressive :-)

How much time do you spend in front of a screen every day

Hmm, good question. I would estimate around 12hours more or less. That, of course, includes day work !LOL I'd love to spend less time than that. But it is what it is right now. I have cut down on mobile use though as I moved my mainstream social media apps to an old phone I hardly check anymore. 🙃

It is the same here and I have a timer for them, but my wife suggested I should have a timer too! I guess my screen time could be 10hrs or so a day as I work on a computer.

Hello family!

I work in front of the computer, so I estimate that with leisure, hive and more work I should spend around 10 to 12 hours a day.

I believe that the evolution of technology has caused a large increase in hours worked, in the past even for you to talk to a person sometimes you couldn't because you didn't have a cell phone or landline, today the person can be somewhere far away from the city, and even so you will have a way to contact.

I spend way too much time in front of the screen. I try to justify it by saying that it is split between earning income, playing games and social. But then all three of those is on the Hive Platform. !LOL
In all honesty it is over 8 hours per day more than I did when I was actually working all day at a computer.

I totally get that. It's the same for me. In the past I spent all day working in front of a computer but now, thanks to hive, I spend even more time in front of a screen than before.

I've been spending a lot of hours, because I work as a programmer and then I'm at least 8 hours in front of the screen at work, when I get home, I can say that it's another 3 or 4 hours in front of my pc to create something for the hive, watch a series or play something, so stay there, between 11 and 12 hours a day.

Sorry for the delay, I work with a system for desktops, retail stores, so in this case my knowledge is in visual basic 6, C# .NET and PostgreSQL database.

I'm thinking a lot about trying to learn python, to start trying to do some developments for hive, but this is still a project for the future.

I spend most of my time in front of the screen since I've been on Hive). So now I've decided to fight it from the beginning of this month. Well, let's just say I'm losing so far. lol. But I'm trying my best to cut down on that time by rationalizing some activities.

Far too much! I've noticed my mobile screen time has been down recently, mostly because I'm sitting at the laptop most of the day! I must spend more than 50% of my time at one screen or another! Luckily it's mostly (partially) productive stuff I'm doing, like building on Hive!

This is a great question, Achim.

If not for having to sleep, I would likely be in the 20 hrs. range.
Considering that I use a computer at work as well as at home for all things Hive, I would guess 12-15 hours because I will also take a break from my computer in my office and go chill out in the living room, and before you know it I am either on my phone or my laptop that I keep next to my "spot" in the living room.

This is an excellent post, @liotes, because this is something we should all be thinking about.
