Laundry rooms in the dorms at the University of Louisville are to offer
students a system that schedules laundry use and lets
students know — via e-mail or text message — when the wash is done.

Inspiration to make things better.
If laundromats (or washaterias, depending on where you’re from) had coffee bars & had wi-fi all in one space, doing laundry would be much less of a chore. I often hang out at cafes to drink coffee, read & use the internet, why not combine it with something productive?

Oooh–WAY better back when I was in school and you’d know your washing was done because someone had removed it from the machine for you and left it in a heap on the folding table.
Incidentally, to respond to Rachelle, there are already laundry bars available in some towns, like http://www.laundrybar.com, for example.
