Party like it's 1999, Oh Wait

In 1999 time square was crowded with people waiting in anticipation for the turn of the century. While there were thousands of people present, many more were sitting in their homes awaiting the computer takeover. The computers were going to malfunction and all hell would break lose. Bombs would be set off, stocks would crash all because the computer could not cope with the change. People freaked out buying bottled water, canned food, and batteries for flashlights. Once the century did change there were no large mass apocalypses. In fact, most of the problems were minor and able to be solved. It was just a big scare, and proves that humans are still smarter than computers. Take that Mac's!
