Modern LCD and laptop screens are far far far better for your than old CRT or the dreaded monochrome CRT green screen you now find in museums and landfills... I wouldn't worry about your eyes if this is the case. Just remember to get some exercise when you're not pulling an 8 hour computer marathon and try to have a life outside the computer.

Wrong according to whom? You going to let me decide? You going to let the fourth person to answer decide for you??? Now your parents might be able to answer that for you. If you are an adult, then um if it's ok with you, it's ok.

Depends on why you're doing that. If it's work or school, then NO it isn't wrong. If it's pleasure, it might be if you have other duties.

No, unless you are 400 pounds, have no job, and never get off your @$$ because you have no friends.
However, if you are addicted to Yahoo! answers, talk to friends alot, and are bored - then its ok. :)
