TECHNOLOGY
As the 90s came to a close, technology rapidly transformed daily life, with the internet, personal computers, and especially cell phones becoming ubiquitous. Mobile phones were revolutionizing communication, making people more connected than ever before. However, this surge in technological reliance also brought anxiety, particularly with the discovery of the Y2K bug. This programming flaw, rooted in how dates were stored in early systems, raised fears of widespread failures across industries like banking and infrastructure. The looming threat of technological collapse revealed society’s deep dependence on these systems, including the growing reliance on cell phones, and highlighted the fragile nature of the digital world.
