The Y2K bug was the first big anti-climax of the 21st century. The theory was that computers, which only recorded the last two digits of the year, would confuse ‘00’ for 1900, causing chaos in banking, air travel and traffic control. This Y2K bug clock humorously reflects the anxiety leading up to the new millennium. Mercifully, computer programmers fixed the issue in time, and the predicted apocalypse never came. Phew!
