A countdown from 1997 to 2000
Approaching 2000, many anticipated the Y2K bug would
strike at the turn of the millennium. Coded in 2-digits, clocked machines would
confuse year ‘00’ with ‘1900’. Software miscalculations would materialize as
disasters - planes could fall from the sky, and nuclear power plants could meltdown.
So programmers strive to manipulated time; calendar years were
reformatted
from two-digit to four-digit
– Finally a time that belongs to the
21st century.
