Description
Produced in 1999, this video presents the Year 2000 Problem (Y2K Problem) for an audience of laypeople, with a focus on how the new millenium's time code ambiguity might affect home electronics and public services. From the tape label: "Many believe that the bug will affect only high-tech industries or big cities that depend on computer technology. What they don't realize is computer technology is all around us. Computers and minicomputers called microprocessors are integral parts of many of our cars, appliances, heating systems, hospitals, water and food supplies - our lives."
