Issues with satellites, issues at nuclear power plants, lots and lots of issues that were Y2K related that did in fact happen. So one of the things that Y2K really drove home was the extent to which by the end of the 20th century, so much of daily life had become dependent on computer systems, computer-related infrastructure. Y2K wasn't just about people's new desktop computers.

Y2K was about the fact that the electric grid was relying on computers. That keeping the grocery stores stocked properly was also reliant on computers. And just as it's important for us to make sure that we are taking care of and maintaining our more traditional infrastructure— bridges, tunnels, stuff like that.

As computing becomes infrastructural, we also need to make sure that we are maintaining and properly taking care of it.

Yeah, if I knew the answer to this, that would be wonderful. I would sleep much better at night. I do think that unfortunately, sometimes it does take a looming threat with a hard deadline to push people to work together on something. And Y2K certainly did involve lots and lots of people working very hard together.

The level of bipartisanship in the US government at the same time that President Clinton is being impeached, mind you, The bipartisanship around working on Y2K is really, really impressive in Congress. The work that companies are doing sharing best practices and information is very important.

And the work that is being done internationally between countries sharing expertise is also really, really important.

I think that one of the things that Y2K can also teach us is that sometimes when we see that problem coming and the experts are like, hey, we've got this problem coming, we can listen to the experts and we can marshal the resources that they are saying are necessary and perhaps we can solve the problem before it becomes a catastrophe.
