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?

It was a real problem that require real work to solve, but also got blown out of proportion by the media. It seemed paranoid in hindsight because they did such a good job of fixing it behind the scenes that almost no normal person noticed anything going wrong.
