And I agree with that. the media created the expectation that we would all suffer, the world would collapse. Y2k perception after was it was a big nothing. false alarm. The amount of work that went into making a big nothing when the clock hit midnight wasn’t even recognized.
I worked for a major international retailer at the time and I know how much money and time we spent making sure nothing bad happened to our multiple computer systems. It was a tremendous effort.
I’d like to say there is a similar effort going on to protect US systems from an EMP attack or Carrington event, but I don’t see it.
