POLL: Looking Back at Y2K

[BioHawk]

I think it was a legit concern, I am undecided as to whether it was trivial in consequences or the amount of time and effort and money put into it to prevent bad things from happening just worked. That's the problem with these things, the only way people would notice was if everything bad happened. It's like the people who want to play chicken with nuclear weapons. If you screw it up, nobody will be left around to say "I told you so".

I guess I'd rather be left asking questions like this then be talking about the "dark times" of failed power grids and collapsed supply chains.

I was not worried about society falling apart. I was worried electronic banking might be vulnerable to Y2K and liquid cash might come in handy until it was fixed.

This is true - and can still happen.
