For some there is no question the internet can be quite addicting. I find it very soothing and comfortable to be able to go on and read news stories especially. It's a great way to relax. However, I definately take breaks and talk with my family, go walk, or play with dogs. Just on a physical health basis, it's good to take breaks.

i think for true addicts they just dont see the point of taking breaks. A friend of mine has a pretty big problem with Xbox. he plays for seriously days in a row and with no sleep. I always ask him to come to lunch with me but dude doesn't see the point of taking a little break.

Break are a good thing to take whether it be on the internet,sports, anything actually. Breaks also in turn allow your mind to rekindle and ready itself for the next task.

If you do online jobs then i would say take some day off because sometime things gets too familiar and you do get bored a nice day off will get you going again the next day.

I work on the net but that's it, I don't spend time doing nothing in front of the computer, if I have nothing to do, I just leave, there's no reason to stay

Most of us here does use internet for online business or do some online jobs i don't see that as an addiction but like most human we also do need to take a break smetimes that would behelpful to our eyes and also in our health staying too long in the PC is not a healthy activity.
