The year 2038 problem (also known as “Unix Millennium bug”) will cause problems because time is represented as the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 on Unix and most other systems based on the C programming language. The latest time that a 32-bit system can represent is January 19, 2038.
The electric grid will go down, our toasters will explode, VCRs won’t work, the sewers will overflow, planes will crash!!!!!!! What are we going to do???
Once we’ve survived Y2K38, here comes Y2.07K! It’s hopeless, let’s just give up and go back to stone knives and bearskins.
