No, many people will recommend to turn it off if you are leaving it unused for a very long period of time, but it can not actually damage the computer.

Differentiate between computer standby and computer hibernation?

Hibernation allows you to remove all power - the session is saved to the hard drive- Standby keeps the session in RAM for a quick restart; but if you remove power (change battery on a laptop or pull the network cord on a stationary machine) you will loose your session and any unsaved work and potentially damage some software (though most are pretty good these days - you never can tell!)

What happens when you put a magnet on your computer?

Your computer uses magnetism to store information. The binary code used by your computer to transmit information at the most basic level, 1s and 0s, are stored by your computer in the form of magnetic charges. 1s are represented by magnetized bits and 0s are represented by unmagnetized bits. (8 bits make up a byte)Due to this, putting a magnet on your computer may damage information stored in it, as well as possibly corrupting the ROM in your motherboard. ROM is the read only memory that your computer uses to know how to start up.For these reasons and others, I would highly recommend not putting any magnets anywhere near your computer.


Can putting a CD on top of a computer or laptop damage either of them?

CD's are fairly rugged provided that they don't get scratched or have other damage to the surface. Excessive heat can destroy a CD or DVD, but typically a computer does not produce that amount of heat. CD's and DVD's don't do well in direct sunlight sitting in a parked car, sitting on top of a computer isn't the problem unless it's getting EXTREMELY hot.
