Thanks to the wonders of mobile technology, smart phones can help people fall asleep, hang pictures straight and even learn how to play a guitar. Now, smart phones can fix potholes.
In some cities, citizens can now report potholes, graffiti and other issues directly to their city with their smart phones. After being downloaded onto a smart phone, the software -- commonly referred to as "applications" or "apps" -- allows a citizen to take pictures of a problem and with a click of a button, e-mail it directly to city officials with the exact coordinates of where the picture was taken.
