For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.ICT is always evolving with cheaper and better hardware. This is evident in the gaming industry, better graphics, sound and artifical intelligence. I suppose this is how leisure is effecting ICT. new jobs have been created in the gaming industry because of the higher demand of leisure and ICT.
ICT and leisure has also caused problems. many religions, races and classes of people believe the internet should be policed and acess to porographic images, unapropriate images, and violent movies should not be allowed to be viewed by anyone. Take muslims for example, in there religion it is forbidden to see half naked or naked women. yet on the internet its possible.
their is also issues on the fact that leisure and ict is letting underaged children buy alchole and knives online.
I would say completely revolutionised both -the whole new world of broadband (and slower) etc has enabled easier and ider access to information and services.
For instance you can not only watch a movie in the cinema but enjoy a more feature rich experience for that movie (online trailers, online cameras for on-set filming, websites devoted to the movie and discussion etc)
All Information and Communications Technology have added extra dimensions to all entertainment and leisure. Perhaps not all good for the distributers --faster broadband, and the WWW has meant movies can be ripped in the UK (in a cinema) and distributed around the world affecting DVD/Video sales, and even movie tickets.
Not of impacts really, do you need anything more specific?
