Seattle Theater: Smartphone Ban Dropped By 2014

Seattle Theater: Smartphone Ban Dropped By 2014:

"With the newly constructed 2,000 seat theater set to open in 2014, the move is intended to attract younger audiences by cultivating a digital-friendly environment where people can update Facebook and send text messages and tweets throughout the performance.

"This is the wave of the future for the people we worry about attracting," John Haynes, the theater's executive director, said in an interview with The New York Times."

Progress marches on. How delightful I'll miss most of it.

Perhaps they should just offer Ritalin with the tickets instead. Goes for members of Congress as well.
Humph!
