How technology affects students has more to do with how they use it, in my opinion anyway. I'm a high schooler with high grades, and I use technology a lot. I also know people who use technology, and have bad grades. The difference seems to be in what they use the technology for. I, for example, like to learn new things, and experiment (I installed Linux, and I'm still learning) while the people with worse grades just seem to use it for socialization. Not that that's a bad thing...
I know that I do not speak for most high-school students then I say that my interests include politics, international commerce, and, of course, comptuers.

Even with backwards compatibility and Final Fantasy, I'd still rather have a PS3.
