The '''Year 2000 problem''' (also known as the '''Y2K problem''', the '''millennium bug''', the '''Y2K bug''', or simply '''Y2K''') was the result of a practice in early [[computer]] program design that caused some date-related processing to operate incorrectly for dates and times on and after between [[December 31]][[1999]] and [[January 1]], [[2000]] and on other critical dates which were billed "[[event horizons]]". This fear was fueled by the attendant press coverage and other media speculation, as well as corporate and government reports. People recognized that long-working systems could break down when the "...97, 98, 99..." ascending numbering assumption suddenly became invalid. Companies and organizations world-wide checked and upgraded their computer systems.
