First World Problems
"• I can't figure out which way to face my cup of coffee in the microwave so after 1 minute the handle will be facing me.
• I was screaming inside because I thought we were out of cinnamon stick flavored tea.
• I have two computers in one room, and their wireless mouses always connect to the opposite computer
• I bought a galaxy s5, but the bootloader is locked and i cant root it
• I cut my finger and now the Touch ID on my iPhone doesn't work.
• The little televisions attached to the treadmills at my gym were broken today, so I had to do my workout with no entertainment.
• Nobody cares about my problems."

Third World Problems
• More than 870 million people of the entire third world population have no food to eat or a very precarious food supply i.e. more than the population of the US and the European Union combined.
• More than 800 million people have no access to health care. Women, children and men that die every year just because of lack of preventable health care services.
• A quarter or more of the entire world population lives without electricity in pitch black darkness as the night falls. That is around 1.6 billion people who do not know something like electricity exists. They are technically still living in Stone Age, no computers, no Internet, no appliances, no eFibre, no 1GB fibre.
