Scenarios about 'millennium bug'
The Millennium Bug, also known as Y2K, was a computer programming concern that arose as the year 2000 approached, stemming from the practice of abbreviating four-digit years to two digits in computer systems. This potential flaw threatened to cause widespread system failures at the turn of the millennium, prompting massive global remediation efforts costing hundreds of billions of dollars and raising questions about technological vulnerability and societal dependence on computers.
What If Y2K Actually Caused Major Problems?
Exploring the alternate timeline where the Y2K bug triggered widespread technological failures, causing a global crisis and fundamentally reshaping the early 21st century development of technology, society, and international relations.
What If Y2K Actually Caused a Global Computer Meltdown?
Exploring how society, technology, and global development would have been transformed if the Year 2000 bug had triggered the widespread technological failures that many feared.
