Not too much but one thing it really did for me was force me to research more about data collection and who knows what.
I downloaded a couple tools such as Tor for specific things that I don't really want connected to me in the future. Additionally, I added the Collusion extension for Chrome to see who is tracking what about me.
In terms of behavior, I've started reducing my activity on Facebook/Twitter.
TL;DR - Became more educated on how the stuff works and changed behavior a bit, but nothing extreme.
