1. y2k

   Y2K, which stands for "Year 2000," is a term used to describe a widespread computer programming shortfall that was expected to cause extensive glitches and malfunctions in computer systems around the world at the beginning of the year 2000. This was due to the common practice of abbreviating a four-digit year to two digits, making the year 2000 indistinguishable from 1900.
