Extra Credit: The y2k Scare

Where were you on NYE 1999? Were you even born yet? For those of us that were and remember it, the dawn of the year 2000 brought hopes and dreams of the future, but also the fear and panic of the end of the world. A little computer bug called "y2k" (Year 2000) was supposed to be the end of everything electronic. And no, this wasn't a cyberattack, or ransomware... this was a bug that was intentionally put into computer system way back when people didn't think of the future. So what happened? How did we fix it? Have a listen as Joe C. explains the problem, the fear, and the outcome of y2k in this weeks Extra Credit episode.
