Do you agree with Chris Rock banning cell phones and watches from performances?

Consider this scenario: You buy a ticket to see superstar comedian Chris Rock on his “2017 Total Blackout Tour.” When you arrive, you learn about one critical stipulation: You have to put your cellphone (and a smart watch, if you wear one) in a special locking sleeve, known as a “Yondr pouch,” during the performance.

The pouch remains on your person, but its built-in, location-based technology keeps the phone locked away until you exit into the lobby. Thus you can’t take pictures, shoot video, check in on social media, or anything else. If you figure out a way to tear open the pouch and use your phone — just forget the rest of the show. You’re immediately booted from the venue.

What's the big deal? You're there to see the show anyway, right? Just watch the dang show then.

And if you're a doctor or someone who needs to be in constant touch with the outside world no matter what then frankly you shouldn't be at that show to start with. Schedule it for when you have the day off.

What if you don't want to see the light off of their phone or they are illegally taping your show that is private?

So a Chris Rock preformance is more important than a family emergency?

What if when you see the phone light up in the pouch you step outside and it gets opened up for you outside the theatre?

And how long would it take you to walk through a crowd of screaming fans in case of an emergency?
