Robot waiters are coming, practice your touch-screen typing skills

Hello, my name is iPad. I’ll be your server tonight …

The pleasant waiter who asks you if you’ll be needing separate checks could soon be replaced by a tablet. CNN reports on the touch-screen phenomenon that is burgeoning in California, where math-challenged diners can peruse a menu, place orders through a tablet, and even play games at the table. And I thought the train-delivery service at Fritz’s Railroad Restaurant was the height of tableside technology.
