Hibernation is very good for your computer. When you leave your computer for a long period of time, like at night, then put it in Hibernate. It will close all your programs like they are suppose to close and when you start again you will be right where you left off. The worst thing you can do to a computer is just shut it down with the button which is called a cold boot. Files get damaged since they could not be saved correctly,
Windows needs to be rebooted at least once a day to fix memory leaks from various programs (including itself) and get back to a state of proper operation. If Windows is not rebooted regularly, various issues can crop up that will frustrate the user to no end. For example, I had a client recently who said that her computer was taking a long time (several minutes) to start MS Word or any other application rather than the few seconds it used to take and she also indicated that she could no longer print. So, I asked her when the last time she rebooted was. It had been a few weeks. I rebooted the machine and everything was back to normal. As she was not a heavy user, it took her longer to get to the point that others could reach in just a few days of not rebooting.
Hibernation is something that I tell my clients not to bother using generally. As G543 mentioned in another answer about hibernation, putting the computer in stand by if the user walks away to get a sandwich is a bit of overkill. If I am walking away for the time it takes me to get a bite to eat (say, about five minutes), I don't even bother to turn off my monitor. There's no purpose to it. In actuality, it puts more wear on the machine to go to sleep and wake up again after a few minutes like that than it does to just let it sit idle. If one is going to be away from the computer for a few hours, say to go out to run errands, then putting it to sleep is a fine option. However, when going to bed at night, go ahead and turn the machine off. If you are someone who prefers to leave the computer on all the time, then use that time to reboot the computer so that all you have to do in the morning is just log into Windows and you have yourself the clean slate for the day with no memory leaks or other software-related issues.
Something else I have found about hibernation is that a computer that has been put in hibernation does not always wake up on the right side of the processor. Frequently the USB ports will refuse to work or there will be something amiss with the wireless radio or other issues, all of which require a reboot to resolve. So, putting the computer in hibernation mode actually saved no time or hassle. Instead, it wasted more time and caused more hassle.
So, my best advice is either just not to use it or force the issue by deactivating the hibernation option completely. If you wish to deactivate the hibernation option, the way to do this is to go to Start | All Progtrams | Accessories, and then right click on Command Prompt. On the context menu, select Run as Administrator. This will open a DOS command prompt window. At the prompt, type:
powercfg -h off
Once you have a command prompt again (as the command takes only a brief second to execute), click on the close button in the upper right corner of the window and go about your regular routine.
So, to directly address the question asked about whether hibernation is bad for the computer, I will say it is definitely not always a good thing but it doesn't do actual harm. Rather, it just gets in the way of proper operation. It has never worked right since it was first conceived in Windows 95. So, as I said a moment ago, just skip it.
well yes it saves your place and dose not run so your saving your computer from unnecessary wear and tare

Will it hurt your PC to hibernate all the time you shut down?
Hibernate is designed as a temporary low-power mode. Whilst it wont actually harm your pc to leave it in hibernate mode for long periods, it's still using power - so - from an environmental view-point, it's better to shut down your computer if you're not going to sue it for more than 30 minutes.

My interviewer asked how you know data is updated or saved in hibernate?
Data is not updated or saved in hibernate. Hibernate is where the contents of main memory and CPU status is saved to a disk file and then the computer is shut down. On the next startup, the boot sequence reloads the CPU and memory state from that file, instead of the normal boot sequence. If a file was loaded in an editor and not saved before hibernate, then it will still be loaded in that editor and not saved after hibernate. As far as updates, since the computer is turned of during hibernate, updates are impossible.
