It's become common for a table's surface to function as a screen.

I figured that out fairly quickly, mainly from the SFnal context.

It's done in real life too.

First I've heard of it in real life. I suppose I shouldn't be
surprised.

Actually, it now being another day and upon further reflection, I think
I lied. I think what I was remembering was an organisation that had
whiteboard tables. (They used them for brainstorming, and when one
group left they had to leave the writing there, so the next group could
add to it. Like a non-virtual wiki. I don't recall whether or not they
were the kind of whiteboard that you could then print from.) In my
defense, one of the whiteboards I use a lot at work is a computer, so it
was an easy mistake to make.

Let's see -- disposable computers are probably still in the future.

Probably.
