Using a computer "too much" would not necessarily change your prescription or cause astigmatism to worsen. However, getting older can. I'm assuming you've seen an optician for a thorough exam and s/he has told you that your eyes are healthy otherwise? Try not to worry then. My only advice (and note I'm not a medical professional) is to make sure when you're using the computer that you take a break and be conscious about blinking to keep your eyes hydrated.

Mjcg is right, using the computer or the amount will not cause or change astigmatism. It is more likely that you have always had the astigmatism as it is typically there by age 3. When you are younger many times if the prescription is a small prescription they dont always write one as they know many kids do not want to wear glasses. Also they may have compensated for the astigmatism Rx by changing the sphere.
