3. Mobile Phones Aren't Going To Be A Problem

This is the natural progression from the previous point. People talking during a movie can be somewhat acceptable at times, but we now live in an era where everyone is constantly connected to their mobile phone. We are constantly updating our Facebook statuses, Instagramming photos of our hoards of cinema food bounty and finally tweeting about anything and everything from the price of their cinema tickets to the twist ending of the latest blockbuster we have just watched. This is fine once you are outside of the cinema, but inside there is a forever a constant glow from peoples phone screens as they can't bring themselves to relinquish attention from their mobile for a few small hours. Social networking is a great part of our modern world, but cinema has been a mainstay for much longer, so it would be nice to see that people could still appreciate tradition and just relax in the darkness and remove themselves from the outside world and enjoy the simple pleasure of watching a movie without distraction.
