Your daily dose of tech trivia!


Question: What was the first smartphone, released in 1994? Hint: it’s codename was “Sweetspot”


Answer: The first smartphone, originally demonstrated in 1992 by IBM, was called the IBM Simon Personal Communicator (IBM Simon). Released to the public in 1994, it featured a touchscreen, could send emails and faxes, and even had built-in apps, making it the precursor to modern smartphones.


Why "Dooley?"

Inspired by the founder's alma mater - Emory University's spirit mascot, Dooley represents the voice of the student body. And when Dooley shows up to your class, you can count on a fun time and the rest of the day off!
