In den ersten Lebensjahren eines Kindes bringen ihm die Eltern Gehen und Sprechen bei,
in den späteren verlangen sie dann, dass es stillsitzt und den Mund hält.
(Johann Nestroy)

There are a lot of bad excuses for oversleeping, but I think I have found the most stupid: My alarm clock crashed.

Well, to be honest, I use an Android app, and it crashed for some strange reason. In the future, I will use my single-purpose alarm-clock again and find other reasons to oversleep.

However, if you think about it, this is not even a first world problem anymore. It is a problem that goes into the digital world, the world where new SciFi-like technology rules - let us call it the zeroth world.

It is everywhere where fast (mobile) internet is available, and where everybody has a smartphone and a tablet and communicates through it.

I have just had a real zeroth-world-problem.
