Right after we stop using "dashboard", eh. I doubt anyone here (me included) has ever seen a real dashboard.

  Isn't that like saying "I doubt anyone here has ever seen a real ladder" because ladders aren't made out of coppiced staves but instead are formed from aluminium? [Dashboards originally were wide mud-guards on the front of house drawn wagons, the same feature was fitted to early cars, eg Peugeot 2.]

  The instrument panel in front of the driver in a car is still a 'real' dashboard.

    Not in the 'original' sense of the word, which was the point: status webpages are twice removed from the original meaning.
