  • This isn't healthy. Set a timer and stretch your legs once every hour. It will ruin your eyes and attention span for other things.

      • Computer games are fiendish.

        The designers deliberately set out to make them addictive, offering little tidbits in a way that involves work, but not so much work that you get bored.

        My wife spends far more than eight hours a day playing some fishing game. In the really old days, she would spend just as much time playing frigging Windows Solitaire, so maybe that's a positive change.

        I can't say much, since I used to be heavily involved in an MMORPG (EVE Online). Eventually, I recognized that it was a huge time sink that left me with nothing real to show for my efforts, so I just gave away all the in-game goods I'd accumulated over the years (so I wouldn't be tempted to return) and found creative things in the real world to do.
