@historywithgem: In 1999, people all over the world were terrified that computer systems would crash worldwide as soon as the year 2000 began. As two digits were used by computer programmers for dates (eg. ‘99’ for 1999), it was feared as soon as the year 2000 began, ‘00’ would be interpreted as 1900, potentially crashing systems worldwide. #weirdhistory #1999 #millenniumbug #historytok #funnyhistory

I never believed in this, because they already knew before, that the year 2000 will come.
