Y2K

Y2K, or the year 2000 problem, was a very short lived event of the aughts decade. In 199 there was a lot of hype leading up to the year 2000 because of Y2K. Many people believed that at the stroke of midnight on January 1, 2000 that all of the computers would crash and we would be left virtually without technology. However, the major of the problems that surrounded the Y2K problem were very insignificant and minor. It turned out that all of the hype and hysteria surround the Y2K problem was all for nothing. At the time of the Y2K problem I did not really understand what the deal was, and I was slightly afraid that we would be in a chaotic state of anarchy for several days trying to get our technology back online.
