Early Y2K Subdivisions I will reiterate that I defined the Y2K era to be the years 1995 to 2005. I've written an article as to why I believe that is. We can decide on different years, but I feel this is appropriate. We can further subdivide this era into smaller subdivisions. I feel like declaring that 1995-1997 are the early Y2K, 1998-2001 is peak Y2K, and 2002-2005 the decline and subsequent descent into irrelevence due to the internet and Iphones. From 1995 to 1997, we started seeing an increased interest in the internet, 3D graphics, and technology in general. I distinctly recall starting in 4th grade discussing the Y2K bug. I started 4th grade in 1998. In 1999 it really ramped up along with the culture surrounding it, which crept in to the new millenium. In 2001, the 9/11 tragedy struck and changed the world forever. It was a steady decline from then on. This is obviously completely from my perspective. I still managed make some historica...

New Millennium: Y2K Era Those of you that are ready to hit middle age, or even already there and even past it, will instantly associate "Y2K" with the global bug of doom that was supposed to occur the moment we entered the year 2000. Hence, Y2K for the year 2000. Nothing happened. We even tested this theory as kids by typing "2000" into every date field just to see if anything will crash. Not exactly the most scientific expirement, but it did assuage our fears a bit. The year 2000 arrived and no major global catastrophe happened. There where a few important incidents that caused financial problems[1], but no planes fell out of the sky because of it. Aside from that scare, growing up during the Y2K era was a whole lot of fun. Credit is Due First, let me give credit to a Youtuber that goes by the name of "Life of Slice". He developed a brilliant v...
