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? Modern day Electronics have been a boon to my everyday life, iPod's Music to relax and focus on revising some texts while traveling to school and forth, PSP as another entertainment medium between my classes, and who wouldn't say the electronic dictionary wasn't a life saver while writing an essay.

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?

-positive, because it often helps exercise the mind and stimulate my imagination, though admittedly that depends on what kind of games you play. Considering that so many people my age spend little time thinking outside of the box, I find this to be an invaluable practice.

1) In moderation, alcohol is proven to be quite healthy actually.

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?
Positive. I'm an artist and a musician, and were it not for the use of electronics, I seriously doubt that my writing or music would be anywhere near the level it is today. As for games (since this survey is about gaming, specifically), I don't really feel they've effected me too terribly much. Improved hand-eye coordination and slightly trained reflexes aside, gaming is just another way to spend time, whether it's socially or with a single player.

The use of electronics in everyday life, affected me positively, since it was at first a means of information which aided me immensely in life since that's where I learnt to speak English and German. It also helped me understand different cultures better through online dialogue, as well as show me what not to become.

Hope this helps you in anyway possible.

hmm, mixture of the two. I don't feel in anyway hindered by video games anymore than I would say I'm hindered by books, but as someone with ADHD I would say it just adds another problematic distraction between me and my statistics home work >_>

Rock on guys and gals keep it up, getting alot of useful info,

" and at a quick glance on atleast a generic level it's looking that the study was not as accurate as it seemed...though that's just at a quick review without breaking it down in detail just yet.

 

[Mariena]

Children, teenage, and young adults who spend more than 6 hours a day of electronic interaction (TV, Games, Internet, Texting, Music, etc.) are more likely to become obese, sexually active, smokers, alcoholics, or users of other drugs.

Is there any truth to this?

It's much easier to get work done and keep in touch with people thanks to cell phones and internet access...on the other hand, they can be distracting. Socially, it's a net positive, in terms of productivity I'll call it a wash.

Well, being a honors student in a Computing course in University I'd have to say computers are basically the crux of my current existence and will go on to provide my livelihood, so I shouldn't really annoy them by specking out against them.

However I will say that children who are still in development (aka, pre-during puberty) should not really spend eleventy hours a day behind a computer, during the development of their bodies and minds they should look for more... energetic stimuli. I know kids that have never read a book outside of school, and never get any exorcise outside Phys Ed. Don't sit behind a PC or TV while your body is looking for things that will shape your body and mind in the future. Try to stay educated and join a sports club or something (I used to be a professional fencer, sword fighting is a good way to get kids interested in exorcise)

I live in a very boring area and video games give me something to do, so I'd say they've affected me positively.
