Today is the first day of 2017. I really can't tell the difference between the last day of 2016 and today. So, what is the big deal? We just have to write a different date on the checks we send out.
But I remember tp 1999 to 2000. The Y2K craze. They (the smart ones) were convinced that the Earth will stop rotating around its axis and all civilization as we know it will cease to exist. There be no Internet service, computers will stop working, there'll be no electricity and in short nothing will work.
What happened just proves that even those smart people don't know everything about computers. And that makes me feel a lot better.
1999 came to a close and 2000 rolled in. Nothing, absolutely nothing happened. Every piece of intelligent machinery kept on working like it was just another day.
The only ones made money out of this were some computer programming companies who sold specialized software just in case something was to happen.
The change from yesterday to today went on unremarkably.
The only thing was that my birthday got to be a day closer!
