This aim of this seminar is to explore the development on new forms of business, units of competition and consumer involvement in the development of new leisure technology industries. Presentations will detail the increasing variety of new techniques for funding developments in digital leisure and the varied forms of cross-implementation of technologies of leisure such as revenue generated by SMS text messages during the Big Brother television series or the development of “advergames” on the Internet.
