ARE YOU ON THE COMPUTER during leisure?  If so, you're certainly not alone! Millions upon millions of people all around the globe spend at least part of their free time using a computer. Untold numbers of these individuals spend vast amounts of leisure sitting in front of a screen using a keyboard and a mouse.

In the modern age, there's no doubt at all that computers are necessary in the world of work. An enormous number of executives, professionals, support staff, and others are clicking away on a keyboard every day at their place of work.

However, it is abundantly clear that personal computers, laptops, notebooks, or tablets used at home - or in non-work settings - are also getting monumental workouts!

There are all kinds of reasons to be on the computer during those times when it is not required. Some people have found that it is a good way to stay in touch with family and friends through the use of e-mail. Others thoroughly enjoy communicating and sharing with others by way of social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. Another group of individuals are writing blogs to share with the world via the Internet.

The Information Age has made it possible to find the answer to just about anything we would like to know. Consequently, huge numbers of folks utilize computer search engines - such as Google - to assist in surfing the Web for answers and solutions to questions or problems. Also using the home computer for more formal educational purposes, such as taking online classes, is also popular for many. 

The home computer can be an excellent place to store photographs, documents, and music; it is also a great tool in managing a personal checkbook. Many are using a PC to do word processing, spreadsheets, and to produce and maintain all kinds of home or personal records. Some grandparents are even using computers for video phone calls to their kids and grandkids.

Playing games on the computer is a leisure activity which attracts scores of enthusiasts. Some are enamored with Solitaire or other games which can be played alone. Others prefer playing against online opponents in games such as chess. Fantasy baseball, football, and the like provide free time enjoyment for thousands of sports-minded fanatics.    

The bottom line is that using a computer ranks extremely high as a leisure activity. At the same time, it can be very helpful; very practical; and, very beneficial. Perhaps most significant of all, it can be very enjoyable.
