Time Bomb Y2K

As the 20th century drew to a close, the globe stood on the brink of what many feared could be the most significant technological catastrophe in human history. The issue was deceptively straightforward yet immensely complex – a computer bug that might lead systems to misread the year 2000 as 1900, potentially triggering global disruption as electronic systems malfunctioned. Told entirely through archival footage, the HBO Documentary "Time Bomb Y2K" presents a compelling, sometimes amusing narrative about the strengths and weaknesses of technology. The documentary revisits the collective endeavors and widespread panic that marked this momentous turn of the millennium, offering insight into how the digital era has irreversibly altered our way of life.
