The worst experience I&#x27;ve had with people using their phones during a performance was during a Broadway musical. The lady a seat in front of me to the left thought it would be a good idea to text in the dark performance hall with her phone.<p>She was a beacon of distraction and a lot of audience members were missing key parts of the show and it led to much distress.<p>I&#x27;d rather people be responsible and do this act on their own instead of having to use a technology like this. I guess I&#x27;m of the idea that if we don&#x27;t give the opportunity for people to be responsible then they will not develop the ability.
