Y2K The "Year 2000" problem. The problem dates back to the 1960s, when programmers wrote applications using a standard date format of DD/MM/YY to conserve then expensive storage space. When 2000 arrives, the "2000" will be read by older computer systems as "00," potentially causing a complete system failure or producing incorrect calculations in time-sensitive programs.
