I don't think electronics have shaped my life in any particular way. Gaming relieves boredom, but isn't that what it's supposed to do? I use a PC to get work done, they help me get it done faster, so I guess that's positive.

No. They are games, nothing more or less.

2 - I don't exercise, but it's mostly because I'm too busy with university.
do you smoke/formerly? N
I believe that other people have a much larger influence on this than television, etc.
do you drink? Y
1 - I only drink in social settings, and never to excess. This is a personal choice and was not influenced by technology in any way.
I feel that I have benefitted greatly; I am extremely adept at problem solving because of the time I spend programming and simply screwing around with my computer. I've learned a lot from television, and, obviously, the internet. Also, as an undergrad in computer science, technology will be my livelihood.

overweight/obese? I took a Body mass index test where the max score for "healthy weight" was 24.9, i got 25, so I guess I am.
caused by Video games? perhaps 2 out of 5.
do I smoke? no
do I drink? only for religious reasons. (half my family is Jewish, so a lot of the holidays/festivals involve wine)
therefore... affected/caused by video games? 0 out of 5.
I do not feel that electronics have significantly affected my life for better or worse. they are for entertainment purposes only, or, in the case of my school laptop, for educational purposes.

do you feel in your own words, that the use of electronics through the course of a day have affected your life in a negative, or positive way?
I feel that my life has been affected in a positive way by the use of electronics. I am much more aware of what is going on in current events, I have friends all around the world due to online gaming, I have stress relief in comedy show/movies and by playing video games. I also have a quick, easy way to communicate with my family, friends, boss, etc.. due to electronics. I view all these things as good things.
Not a single negative thing in my life, other than owing $1000 on my credit card for my TV, can be attributed to electronics. I started smoking because I thought it was "cool" from seeing family members and friends do it (I was 13). I started drinking when I was 23 and I don't DRINK, I drink once in a while. I began having sex because I was horny and wanted to, I never saw porn until I was 15-16 (first had sex at 13).
I still do everything I need to do and more, but I enjoy electronics. I do believe that if used improperly (parents that believe TV should teach their children and not them) that media can create negative behavior, but this is the fault of the parents not properly teaching their children and not the fault of the movie or video game.
