I’m 29 and I definitely remember Y2K. 2008 didn’t really affect though since I was in highschool.

Yeah but like did you have to work on it for your job? Because nothing actually happened to anyone except people who fixed Y2k bugs leading up to it.

No, but I do remember the panic. My parents were convinced that it was going to affect everything, missile systems, the whole nine-yards. They even invested in huge water tanks to put in our basement and stored years worth of food.

Were they crazy? Absolutely. But I can still say I was somewhat affected because of the panic.

Wow. Your parents were not typical at all, but I can see how you would remember that!
