TLDR - if you are over 40 now, you will be like the guys nowadays that know FORTRAN and COBOL.
>A COBOL programmer, tired of all the extra work and chaos caused by the impending Y2K bug, decides to have himself cryogenically frozen for a year so he can skip all of it.
>He gets himself frozen, and eventually is woken up when several scientists open his cryo-pod.
>"Did I sleep through Y2K? Is it the year 2000?", he asks.
>The scientists nervously look at each other. Finally, one of them says "Actually, it's the year 9999. We hear you know COBOL."
