I spend many many hours in front of a computer screen. I would say that it is more than the average person.

How is that?

Well for one I’m an IT person. That means from the time that I get to work until the time that I go home I’m in front of a screen. Now when I get home I have all of the personal things that I would like to get done on the computer as well. Like working on this blog.

Now it is true that I do work on my blog during the day at work. It is done mostly on breaks or when I’m waiting for an installation or update to complete so that I can continue working. So don’t think that I just sit here and do nothing all day long but work on my crappy blog that only entertains a few people, if that.

Back on topic though. So from about 7:30 am until about 5:30 pm, and then from 6:30pm until about 2:00 am. This is mostly on the computer doing something: reading, writing, listening to music, watching movies, or even programing or doing more work.

I have had people ask me how i can work on a computer so long or even look at the screen. Well at home I get to do what I want to do, not what someone else wants me to do. Also they do not realize that they do the same thing when they go home and watch TV all night long.

We are a generation of Screen Zombies. iTouch, iPod, iPhone, Zune, cell phones, TV, watches that play mp4 videos. Advertisements are all over the place now in digital signs and other such forms. Screens are what we humans now look to for information. We are in-put and out-put junkies. Feeding and devouring information at a rapid rate never seen before in the history of mankind.
