If phones didn’t have the ability to use the internet. Would outside events like concerts, clubs, networking coms, parks, etc. benefit from that?

    Tool (and APC and Pucifer) have a no phone policy for their concerts. The concert staff will kick you out if you’re caught using it.

    That experience was orders of magnitude better than watching a concert above a sea of cellphone screens.

      My main beef with concerts now is that people will not shut the fuck up. I’m not referring to cheering or singing along. People have full blown conversations, even during the main act. If the band plays louder, they talk louder. It’s not just one loud couple. It’s the overall din of side conversations coming from all around you.

      Motherfuckers, you could have talked at home for free.

        This happens in virtual music events too. I didn’t know it had become common IRL.
