If you really want to impress your poker buddies, get rid of that old table and spend a small fortune on this, the big daddy of all poker tables. It’s fully automated, electronic, and it even sports touchscreens. That’s because cards are no longer necessary. It’s got 10 12.1-inch displays and a 27-inch display at the center of the table.

The cards are dealt by an invisible dealer, and to look at your hand, just touch your display. Thing is, you better be a card shark if you want this table. The X10 will cost you $29,950 of your previous winnings. You gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em and know when to walk away when the price is that damn high.

The Baggers restaurant in Nuremberg has done away with waiters. That’s because they’re fully automated. Customers use touch-screen TVs to browse the menu and choose their meal. Then the meal is prepared by a human chef and when ready, the meal is put in a pot and they give it a sticker the color of the customer’s seat.

After that it zooms down the rails downhill to the correct table. It’s more fun then your typical snooty restaurant and of course it beats the usual fast food restaurant atmosphere. The customers love it. They still keep some staff on hand. Mostly to explain to bemused customers how to use the technology.
