All of us have fond memories of the Jetsons, George and Judy enjoying the good life thanks to technology.  We also have not so fond memories of dining out ... slow service, get me my check already, rushing to catch a movie.  Imagine the integration of true technoloyg into the restaurant experience.  Dallas-based TableTop Media is rolling out a table top device that sits on your restaurant table and enables you to, well, do it all -- pay-on-demand when you are ready to go.  Want to split your check, have at it.  Leave your gratuity.  Piece of cake.  While you're hanging out waiting for your hot wings, watch a movie trailer.  Heck, buy your tickets there and now and the TableTop device prints your tickets.  Out with kids who left their DS games at home.  No problem.  TableTop offers games.  Short on time and need to buy a gift for the spouse, grab a browser and start shopping.  And let's say you're dining at your fav Mexican Restaurant.  Chances are, you can tune into a video on how to make the best guacamole.  Once you are able to take all that in, now imagine the green benefits -- get your receipt sent to you electronically.  No more table tent printing.  Health advantages -- how about restaurants displaying nutritionals in this electronic format.  And for restaurants in the current economic downturn, the technology offers operational savings and increased revenue.
