I have noticed that many people leave their computers on all day for some reason. I would like to know why and if its better or worse for the computer than to just turn it off. Also, is it more efficient to leave it on?Anyway, the only thing I would like to know is why do many people leave their computers on all day and if you are one of them, why?
Because sometimes I need to connect to my home computer from work and get a file, a phone number, etcThat and because I am lazy and don't want to wait for my computer to boot up when I get home.
i leave my computer on 24/7 cause if you keep turning it on or off it is likely that your data maybe lost or one of your components might fail.
I leave mine on all the time. I only reboot weekly. It doesn't hurt anything and I don't have to boot every time I want to get online.
There are several reasons for this: 1) If it is an office computer and you are an administrator of some program, you need to keep it on so that other people can access it. In this case your computer is a server and servers are never switched off. 2) If it is in a LAN (usually but not strictly) in an office, there are some programs that run updates/scans, like antivirus virus etc. 3) If people are working on something big, they tend to lock the machines and resume work later on. Usually, it is best to restart the computer regularly. Even if you are keeping it on continuously, come later and before starting the work, restart it. Efficiency of a computer decreases if it is left on without proper air conditioning.
