According to the Huffington Post, one theater in Providence is experimenting with seats for smart phone users.

The theater is now setting aside a small number of seats in the back for those who promise to live-tweet from the performance using a special hash tag.

They are calling them “Tweet Seats.”

Some do not agree with it. They believe that the theater should remain technology free and that this kind of a concept would only distract other patrons.
