Is it dangerous when you use the computer 24/7?

Question

I am curious if it is dangerous because I dont want to have any sickness and some other people keep on telling me that using the computer is very dangerous and that you can die... So is it true?

Answer 1

is it dangerous when you use the computer 24/7?

I think mentally to you that would be very unhealthy thing to do, it's OK to be on your computer for a few hours each day but give it a break once in a while.  For the computer it would be very hard on the system  so I wouldn't go down that path.

Answer 2

You won't be able to stay awake 24/7 for too many days, so no. It's not the best, most productive way to spend your life but it's not much different than someone who plants themselves in front of the TV or a video game and makes that their life.

Hopefully you'll branch out and get into real life at some point and let the cyber-world be only a hobby.

Answer 3

If you really mean using the computer for 2-3 days none-stop without sleeping or taking a rest, then you could die.  It happened in Japan where a teenager died from gaming for 2 straight days. so YES it is dangerous

Answer 4

Well, if your planning to have your computer on 27/4, you should have a water cooling system, or something to help remove the heat and keep your computer cool, am I right?

I know when a computer is heating up, it starts to bring out heat from the back where the power supply or fan is... That could be dangerous, but I'm not sure.

And yes you can die as I've seen a documentary of a guy who was gaming two days straight without any breaks and he died.

Answer 5

I hope its not true! as long as you take a brake every couple of hours your are fine.
