Visionary App Series 
Roughly three years ago, surface technology was in its infancy and it was so amazing people could hardly envision it. Now, with the advent of the Smart Phone, iPod, iPad and other touch screen computers, few even remember their shock at surface tech.
Background
Believe it or not, this crazy stuff is still evolving. The original surface technology videos showed people at restaurants swiping their credit cards on a table to pay their tabs. Although we may not see a lot of this yet, a new company called, Tabbed Out, has put a different twist on this idea of paying your bill with its cool new Smart Phone application -- featured in this week's Visionary App Series, here at the Digital Classroom Strategies blog.
Our take
As soon as more restaurants catch on to this, Tabbed Out promises to get Smart Phone users racing to their app market. Until then, it's got a long way to go.
The video below tells the story of Tabbed Out, which helps restaurant patrons keep credit cards in their wallets.
