The First World Problems, a comical situation

Everyone with a comical situation
Everyone have a particular situation in any part of the life, mainly with the things that are part of our lives, as the technology is a good example of that type of problems in the first world society that is more developed than third world countries that don't have the easy access to the technology. So Poole. (2015) Says: 
The phrase “first world problem” is these days used as a comical apology for moaning about trivia. It is also an enjoyable internet meme, with a dedicated subreddit. (I particularly liked “The Wi-Fi at the luxury Greek villa my wife and I are staying at only supports 4 devices at a time”, and the rather subtle: “I want to order pizza, but it is too early and I don’t want to be judged by my doorman.”) But why do we speak of “first world problems”, exactly, and what might we unintentionally mean when we do?
Like many things, “first world problems” has a different force depending on whether you are applying it to yourself or throwing it in someone else’s face. If, at the end of an irate tirade about how my Kenyan coffee beans were over-roasted by the artisanal torréfacteur, I append the phrase “first world problem” with some wry rearrangement of my face muscles, I signal that I know this is just one of the minor frustrations of a very fortunate life. To pre-emptively concede that my problem is just a first world one is to ostentatiously check my privilege before anyone else tells me to do so. At the same time, I remind myself and everyone in earshot that we are indeed living in the “first world”. So it is also a humblebrag.
Whoever uses it, though, it’s arguable that the phrase “first world problems” is condescending and dehumanising to literally everyone on the planet. For a start, it patronises those outside the “first world” by implying that hunger, disease and war are not only prevalent among the global poor but in some way the sole conditions of their lives. It implicitly characterises the less fortunate majority of the world’s population as saintly idiots who would never dream of complaining about anything more trivial. In the guise of right-on sympathy, we condescendingly picture others as living lives of homogeneous horror while rhetorically rendering them invisible as people, denying the individuality of everyone’s various joys and sorrows.
So, the expression first world problems could be consider to any people who have the access to the technology, because in part is depending to the technology, mainly with smartphones with high level of technology and innovation, in addition, the person who have a particular lifestyle in their homes. In a main way this type of particular problems in some situations is, in a perspective from some people, a part of stupid attitude, that point of view could be influenced by the culture of the person. Many people, in their perspective give the appropriate importance to the actions and situations and another part another society could reject the situation because the don't care about it. So the first world problems in depending of the culture and education and mainly the influence of the technology. So in the future I will post more examples about the first world problems for your interesting.
