The Lights are Still On!
After Biblical warnings that society would come crashing to a halt with the computer changeover to the year 2000—the so-called Y2K bug—goes smoothly.

Or is it a case that all of the warnings proved completely exaggerated, that very nature of government overreaction? It is an important question for the future, as the doomsayers are prone to pronouncing cyber and terror and weapons of mass destruction-related Pearl Harbors always around every corner, so much so that it subtly feeds apocalyptic culture so rampant in the news media while also inuring the public to tend to not want to listen to the government crybabies.
