Was Y2K Justified Paranoia?

1.17K viewsOtherTechnology

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’s a good snapshot of IT work in general: when you’re doing your job right, things run smoothly and people think you’re a waste of money because nothing breaks. Yet if you didn’t do your job there would be major problems.
