Everybody is wondering what is going to happen in the year 2000. Nobody really knows exactly what is going to happen. Nevertheless, a lot of business people are making money using scare tactics and hype to make people nervous about the future. With all of the technology in today's society and everyone modernizing his or her computer, there will not likely be a problem in the new millennium. The issue of Y2K has been going on for several years now. Hundreds of articles have been written about the Y2K issue. The first article every written on the subject was back in the 80's. "An analyst at an auto manufacturer presented the first article on the Year 2000 and it was published in the 1984 issue of ComputerWorld. Then he got fired for pushing management past the point of irritation on the subject." (Ulrich and Hayes 6). This shows that the people knew that there was going to be a problem, but nobody wanted to mess with the issue at the time. However, Y2K has become one of the most popular issues in all media. If computer geniuses had started working on the problem back when it was first brought up, they probably would not have had to rush to make sure the programs are going to work.

When people fail to upgrade their computers, trouble may start, because computers will read the date as 1900 instead of 2000. There are several different ways in going about this. These computer phonies can fool people into thinking they are getting something when really they are not. The one most popular now is Norton 2000. Norton 2000 lets you focus on your efforts by controlling details of the database- and spreadsheet-scanning engines. These sites will help people get the programs that they need for their computers. The only way someone could find out which appliance has this bothersome chip is by asking the manufacturer of each appliance. Some of these programs can cause computers to shut down or do something even worse. proaching fast and some problems may still exist on some computers. Some people are saying that everybody needs to get enough cash to run on for at least a couple of months, but that is nonsense. The main issue dealing with Y2K is the date on computers, which is represented by a two-digit number. This tells me that the embedded chips could be a problem.
