Which software will we still be using in 900 years?
- myself248 6y agoI don't know, but it'll be running on a VM with the clock set back so it believes 2038 hasn't happened yet.
- solarengineer 6y ago2038 is just 19 to 20 years away ( depending upon your IT and business activity cycles). We’re close to 2038 than to 2000 ( Y2K ).
- thaumasiotes 6y agoIf -- as you state explicitly -- 2038 might be 20 years away, how could it be closer than 2000? 20 is more than half of 38.

- golergka 6y agoI only know that it will be written in COBOL. Wait, trike that. Not "will be written"; it's already written. it will only get maintained.
- rickdangerous1 6y agoYes, and it will mostly likely be handling debits and credits.

- OJFord 6y agoIt's pretty impossible to say isn't it? Not everything doesn't last/changes fundamentally. I would think there's a version of 2920 in which nothing changed so much in how computers work (e.g. we're not using personal quantum computers) that we're not still using Linux (v87.9.2 or something). But there's equally another version in which we don't need to sit down and compute because things just happen and even those things aren't run from Linux robots because the robots we built 500 years from now decided a microkernel approach would be better and rewrote everything. Another in which we live on Mars and Linux doesn't work there for some reason discovered 320 years from now. I just think it's not obvious the answer's 'none' which is at least how I read (what I took to be) your rhetorical question.
