No worries. By then we'll all have the ever-elusive "design process piping facility" button incorporated onto the Windows desktop and we'll all have flying cars to fly to our jobs that we'll only have to work 2 hours per day (if that!) at and we'll all be so rich from the wonders of 21st century technology that we'll actually have the time to enjoy all the new stuff we can buy and play with while we tell our children how bad it was "in the old days".

I'm not surprised. Every idiot move, safety violation and cut corner is
also in there. Plus you have to keep up with it for a period of years
through layoffs and resignations. Not likely, when you think of how many
facilities doon't even have a reliable set of as-built drawings, let
alone a record of modifications.

No doubt akin to 'an amateur built the ark; the Titanic was built by
experts' which is every bit as hilarious. In fact the Titanic was built
by experts; the number of lifeboats was a management call. Management
also decided against reducing speed through the ice.
