Do you remember December 1999 when
the world was about to end?
Computer programmers using old languages like COBOL were concerned that their programs wouldn't roll-over to 2000 because they hadn't been programmed to do so and that society would collapse.
Some alarmists said there would be violence on the streets, and civilisation as we know it would end in a matter of weeks. Back to the Stoneage they predicted.
Like many other end-of-world predictions, that never eventuated and we're still here.
That was 26 years ago and now we are on the verge of flipping our calendars into 2026 with no fears that current computers would grind everything to a halt.
Yes, we'll be dealing with Artificial Intelligence Data Centres, Digital Identification and Digital Currency, and probably frequent power failures, but humanity will prevail as we have for many Millenia.
Stay positive, stay safe, and enjoy your Christmas and New Year in whatever way appeals to you.
