In my opinion, the painting Table for Two portrays the impact that technology has had on the world in the 21st century. I think the painting is trying to get across the message of the harmful effects that technology can have upon us.
We can see that the couple, or I assume this is a couple, is trying to enjoy an evening dinner date however both are engulfed in other conversations on their cell phones. This increase in technology can drive a wedge between two people and take what was once a romantic date night to a night that is interrupted with calls, text messages, and other people. This is a perfect instance of how technology is changing face to face relationships and why people do not interact in person as often anymore.
I think the older waiter in the background is aware of the new technology craze and judging by the look on his face it would be safe to say he understands the complications technology will bring.
