Tag: y2k scare

A decade ago I was a chubby fifth grader playing foursquare with friends at recess.

No matter how real the threat posed by the computer bug commonly known as Y2K may be, the University of La Verne is not taking any chances. What ever will happen or not happen on the night of Dec. 31, 1999, the University is making sure that any possible damages will be limited.

Campus Comment: 'Considering all the Y2K hype, what do you think will happen come Jan. 1, 2000?'

With the conclusion of 1999 little more than a month away, discussion of the year 2000 and of exactly what the future entails has continued to stir the society in which we live.

Planes will fall from the sky, automatic doors will refuse to open, there will be no electricity nor water, riots will break and governments will panic. These are some of the predictions for the year 2000, due to potential threats posed by the Y2K or millennium bug.
