Being able to kill time and boredom with the use of video boards, recorded music, AM/FM headphones, and smart devices can be noted as the reason behind why spectators use media technology during their in-game experiences.

Marketing goes beyond one-time buyers or brand recognition; it is about retaining a solid loyalty base. Historically, brands have centered loyalty programs around the point of purchase.

A fan extension takes an original work and recreates it. Fan extensions are a way for admirers to pay tribute to the stories and characters that they love and feel a connection to. Fans want to connect with their favorite stories, to be able to comment and play around with the characters and their storyworlds. An advancement in technology has increased opportunity for fans to participate and create new pieces of art. José van Dijck states this perfectly, “Audiences, empowered by these new technologies, occupying a space at the intersection between old and new media, are demanding the right to participate within the culture” (2009). These fans are active members of what Henry Jenkins has termed “participatory culture,” people who not only want to view and participate in the media, they want to be able to have a lasting effect on the story. Fan created work is an important factor in today 's culture, especially our youth. People should be allowed to participate in fan creations with minimum opposition from the copyright owners.

The arrival of Web 2.0 allowed users to network and collaborate with one another using social media sites. Just like ordinary people connecting and sharing their opinions, thoughts, perceptions and pictures with friends and the greater online community, businesses also use social networking sites to reach out to its target customers. Customers on the other hand use social media to post either their approval or dismay over products and services. In certain situations, things can go “viral” very quickly as millions of people share one customer’s pleasant or unpleasant experience over the internet.
