Why didn’t Y2K problem end the world?
In: Engineering
The Y2K problem wasn’t really a problem to begin with. Programs had been designed with a two digit year and there was fear that the computers would mistake 2000 as 1900 and cause glitches. Very few problems arose.
> Countries such as Italy, Russia, and South Korea had done little to prepare for Y2K. They had no more technological problems than those countries, like the U.S., that spent millions of dollars to combat the problem.
