Anyone who lived through the late 1990s knows the marriage of entertainment and technology wasn't always a seamless union—from hours-long Napster downloads to low-res video that took a relative eternity to buffer. Now that tech and entertainment are practically inseparable, marketers have endless opportunities to get in on the action. A new study by LOLA MullenLowe sheds some insight on where they might want to concentrate.
