Description:
The Y2K Scare was a speculation that the year 2000 would cause global downfall. The premise of this belief was that the computers displaying the year “00” would cause a malfunction to computer systems around the world. There was also a conspiracy that the Earth’s magnetic poles would flip causing airlines and nuclear systems to fail and cause mass turmoil. These series of events were believed to result the end of the world (as we know it or completely).
