First World treatlerite problems. /s What's going to suck years after too many SREs/SWEs will have long been fired, like the Morlocks & Eloi and Idiocracy, there won't be anyone left who can figure out that plants need water.

One cargo cult will worship 5.25" floppy disks and their arch enemies will worship CD-Rs.
