Coincidentally, it was just a couple weeks ago that a (non-technical, relatively younger) family member made a point me that Y2K was completely overblown. Sigh

- rcxdude 1y agoI mean, it was. It was also a genuinely big problem, but given the scope for hype, even massive problems can be overblown as well. (And the media is pretty good at it. I'm pretty sure if a comet was about to hit the planet tomorrow and wipe out humanity there would still be an article that somehow manages to make it sound worse)
