Is it ok to have the computer switched on all the time 24 hrs a day?

[ajayritik]

I keep my computer on all the time i.e. 24 hours a day. Sometimes I download some stuff of the net. Is it ok if we dont switch off the Computer often. Is there any kind of theory that we should work on the computer for only certain hours? Does it effect the overheating of the processor etc? If anybody has been using computer non stop please let me know!
