Mobile Phone App Coddles UW Freshman

Isn't the first day of college supposed to be about getting lost on campus and desperately searching for a classroom you should have been in twenty minutes prior? Nowadays, UW freshman have it way too easy with their new fancy-schmancy University of Washington iPhone app (and a mobile phone site no less!) that was launched yesterday. TechFlash reports that not only does the mobile mommy app provide a campus map, it also offers sports scores, a course catalog, school spirit-inspired wallpaper, and personalized class schedules. We can only assume herein marks the end of the dorm room dry erase board era.

Excuse me, I'll be over here feeling old.
