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.

    My freshman year of college was the first year that students got proper e-mail and internet access.



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

    You had dry-erase boards? In my day, we had to make our own clay tablets and carve styluses from antelope bones.

    Oooh school inspired wallpaper! They should invent an app that gives that campus app a big wedgie.
