Join Renee and Dan in this episode of Time Tellers as they journey back to the cusp of a new millennium, exploring the thrilling, nerve-wracking saga of the Y2K scare. Was it a simple technological glitch, a crucial wake-up call about our dependence on technology, or merely global hysteria? As they unravel stories from the 1990s, explore firsthand accounts, and reminisce about the cultural impact, listeners are invited on a vivid exploration of a time when the world held its breath at the stroke of midnight.
Delve into the nostalgic world of dial-up internet, floppy disks, and early e-commerce giants with a sprinkle of personal anecdotes that paint a lively picture of that transformative era. Discover how massive collective efforts spanned the globe to prevent a digital doomsday and hear about the few glitches that occurred around the world – including minor computer malfunctions and the infamous misinterpretation of dates. Through humor and reflective insights, this episode captures the essence of a moment when humanity questioned its relationship with machines and technology.
