Hummers consume more gas due to the laws of physics. What golden rule says that to have more screen real estate should make applications less useable? Even a single large monitor can reflect all the problems: Keyholes galore, assuming a single resolution, or peripherals for all status, problems with liquid layout, poor contextual design, unintelligent modals. If you are suggesting this is fine and dandy, I'll let you stick with your scrolling fetishes, and stone tablets...I have more fun things to do.
Larger monitors, faster harddrives, and cpu's are here to stay, people are already routinely hooking up pc's to big screens, and microprojectors are coming soon. I'm only a few years ahead of the power-user consumer. Ironically mobile phones and GPS with the most limited ui's tend to favor contextual.
