Y2K ?
Y2K stands for the year
2000, the last year of the millenium. There are many questions surrounding the Y2K
issue, especially in the realm of computer technology and the ability of computers to
properly
function.
The leading theory is that the computer
will not be able to tell the difference between 1900 and 2000 due to the fact that the
dating system uses only the last 2 digits, it is not 1999 to your computer, but 99.
There is a possibility of
computer failure resulting in the 1) loss of the power and gas distribution grid, 2) loss
of telecommunications, 3) loss of bulk transportation. This is considered the iron
triangle. If any ONE of these fails, the other two, in theory, fail with it.
(example..communication is lost, rail switches do not operate. Coal cars headed to a power
plant in your area end up in
Dallas, or New York.....)
There is a mad rush as all companies try to make their systems
Y2Kcompliant.
The results of such a problem can be anywhere from a minor
inconvenience to TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it.) My faith in
government and big business as it is, I am planning for the worst and preparing for the
possibility of serious times ahead.
Inner cities will possibly become battle zones as food becomes more
scarce.
If it is January, how cold
will it be without heat. .
Preparation may be the key to survival.
You don't have to take my
word on preparedness. You had better at least take theirs.
I don't think people hear or read AESOP's fables much anymore, but
there is one about the grasshopper and the ant. The Grasshopper played all summer,
while the ant prepared for the coming winter. The grasshopper would not prepare. When
winter came, there was no food for the grasshopper.
Please don't be a grasshopper.
