Unplugged is being run by Dr.Roman Gerodimos,a lecturer in Communication and Jouralism at Bournemouth University.The experiment is now over but he doesn't yet know the full findings.However,during the experiment,Dr.Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers.He said: "They're reporting withdrawal (signs,overeating.feeling nervous,isolated( 立的)and disconnected."
