There you go. That was exactly my point. There's a difference 
between "can be done" and just press enter and compile it. This 
is very important. You shouldn't have to think about things like 
that (it's 2020). If you need hot water for your tea you use an 
electric kettle or a cooker. You shouldn't have to go and collect 
fire wood, go to the well to fetch water, light the fire and so 
on.
