These days, very few computer screens aren't in widescreen format,

The ability to scroll makes all the diffence though, there is quite a

meanwhile if the
number of columns actually gets too many, in many cases you will not
have a
horizontal scrollbar to play with.
But it depends on how this idea will be expanded, as it has been only
an initial
hint from the original reply.
Please note that less(1), which is commonly used as the pager, also
supports horizontal scrolling. Perhaps that isn't a very well known
feature of less(1), but it is supported.
