I was born in 2000. I’ve always heard that Y2K was just dramatics and paranoia, but I’ve also read that it was justified and it was handled by endless hours of fixing the programming. So, which is it? Was it people being paranoid for no reason, or was there some justification for their paranoia? Would the world really have collapsed if they didn’t fix it?
In: Technology
As with anything it’s a mix of both,
Yes, there *would* have been catastrophic issues if important tech hadn’t been updated. 99% of these catastrophic issues were solved before Y2K was a public issue.
Yes, there *would* have been a lot of large annoyances if common tech hadn’t been updated, most of it was in time.
It really just represents that the planet as a whole was on the ball in fixing it before anyone needed to worry, really
