2000

The year 2000, also known as Y2K, was a significant milestone marking the start of a new millennium and the 21st century. It was a complex time for technology, as many computer systems stored years with just two digits, raising concerns they would not recognize 2000 correctly and could malfunction. This prompted global efforts to update and test software. Beyond technology, 2000 saw notable events like the launch of the International Space Station, advancements in the internet boom, and political shifts. Overall, 2000 symbolized both technological challenges and new beginnings for the modern world.
