Carry this with some concern since I am a "non-native digital". Although business and pleasure use these technologies, I can relax with a good book (paper) the cell detachment "even" for hours (when we only want ... we only want!) and I are nausea from lack of connection.
(AGI) - London, January 3 - It took 24 hours of being away from e-mail, SMS, Facebook and Twitter to feel bad and experience anxiety and restlessness in the same way a smoker trying to quit. This was revealed was a group of researchers at Bournemouth University who participates in an international experiment 'Unplugged', as reported by the British newspaper the 'Daily Telegraph'. Volunteers to 12 universities around the world, including 125 students of the British, was asked to spend a whole day away from computers, cell phones, iPods, television, radio and newspapers. The boys were allowed to use only fixed-line telephones and could read books. During the experiment, the volunteers kept diaries in which to tell their experiences. From those pages shows that many have felt strong feelings of restlessness, anxiety and isolation. In practice, people have been faced with the withdrawal syndrome from information. "The extent to which we are using a piece of modern technology and new media is changing there," said Roman Gerodimos, the scientist who worked on the British side of the experiment. Young people who reported symptoms of dependence have been most hurt by the lack of music. "Many them, "said Gerodimos," said they initially found the silence uncomfortable and rather embarrassing. But as soon as you are accustomed to have begun to notice things which had never noticed before: the singing of the birds 'sound' of the daily lives of neighbors. " Reflecting on this experience, the scientist continued, "the volunteers admitted they suffer withdrawal symptoms. Students have compared this experience to that of a diet and quit smoking, addiction and the word was the applicant. The majority of them have suffered at first, but then he left to involve the new atmosphere and feelings, while a minority hated that. " He concluded: "To become more aware of what and how we use new technologies could help to control the effect they have on us. And maybe we should give up at least one day a year. "
