It is amazing how far computer tech has come in less than 25 years...
circa 1998 the industry was shitting themselves, the GP or a little bit of both, that the 1900s date format was gonna crash computer systems worldwide. Lots of companies made a pretty penny off that now questionable calamity.
25 years ago computers couldn't handle dates, now it's all seeing all-knowing quantum computing and it's all bad and evil-like. Certainly, there are upsides to this next step?
I was skeptical then and Im skeptical now, how come other industries don't morph and evolve as quickly as computing?
Just this threat alone will have people trying to get off the grid, so to speak. Let's suppose much like Y2K, this is overblown, whats the motive? who is to gain? As always follow the money... right
am I wrong? or was this post just tucked away, to be brought up at some later date...
