Me too.  We apparently have the same way of thinking when it comes to those aspects.  It started with me at a very early age.

I still remember watching the numbers flip in my old clock/radio back when I was in 1st grade.  I became obsessed with wanting to understand how it worked and was doing that, so I took it apart.  I took all types of things apart when I was young - just to see how they worked.  

I pulled a TV out of our trash when I was in middle school that my Mom threw out that didn't work.  I took it apart and fixed it - so then I had a TV in my room.

I'm still like that with everything.  Anything that involves solving a complex problem, that gets my blood flowing.  The more challenging, the better.
