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?

I worked the morning shift at a hospital back in 2000. When we took report we were told that one older ventilator did do something weird at midnight, but everyone was anticipating something going wrong so there were no adverse effects.
Was it overhyped? Perhaps, but if you had a kid on “Life support” it was nice that people were prepared.
