Isampulu yeencwadi ezinxulumene ne-Y2K zifotwe ngoDisemba 1, 1999 kwisiXeko saseNew York.Ifoto nguYvonne Hemsey / Getty Izithombe Kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo, abantu baphulukana ngokupheleleyo ne-shizzle yabo. Ngoba? Kuba i-Y2K yayikufutshane nekona. Ukubuyela umva: NgoJanuwari 1, 2000, i-Y2K bug yaxelwa kwangaphambili ukuba ichithe uluntu lwethu olusebenzayo njengoko sasisazi.
Ewe, kuphelele apho.
Ukutsiba ubuye kweli xesha lokuxakeka, kuyabonakala ukuba, bekukho usuku olunqabileyo kwiinkqubo zekhompyuter. I-bug eyi-Y2K iyakusebenza xa umhla utshintshile ukusuka ku-1999 ukuya ku-2000. Ithetha ukuthini lento? Iinkqubo ezininzi zekhompyuter zivumele kuphela amanani amabini enyakeni (okt 99 endaweni ka-1999). Ngokubhekisele kwiikhompyuter ezindala, ibiya kuba yi-1900, hayi i-2000.
Ke ngoko, kwabakho uloyiko olukhulu lokuba iikhompyuter bezingakulungelanga ukugqitha ukuya kumanani amane kunyaka omtsha. Ke ngoko, iikhompyuter azizukukwazi ukusebenza yakuba i-millennium entsha iqale ukusebenza.
Ukuyibeka ngendlela eyiyo, oku kwakubuyela kwiintsuku zakudala zobuchwephesha, xa abathumeli abanjengoJohnny Mnemonic, babenokuthwala kuphela iigigs zeedatha ezingama-80 entlokweni yabo. (Kuyabonakala ukuba, le '90s sci-fi classic khange ikubone kwangaphambili ukufika kweeflash drive.)
Ukungathethi ukuba oku kugqithisiwe, okanye ubuqhinga, kodwa amajelo eendaba axhokonxa ilizwe lokoyika. Abantu babephuma bexakekile. Iindaba eziphambili, ezinje Imizuzu engama-60 , wenza iingxelo ngayo.
I-bug ye-Y2K bekulindelwe ukuba ikhokelele ekunciphiseni zonke izixhobo ezisisiseko zenkqubo yekhompyuter, ezinjengezo zebhanki kunye nezityalo zamandla. Iindiza zazilindelwe ukuba ziwe. Ii-ATM zaziza kwenziwa zingenamsebenzi ngokuchanekileyo ezinzulwini zobusuku. Ukunqongophala kokutya kwaxelwa kwangaphambili ukuba kuya kwenzeka. Iingcango zentolongo zazisoyikiswa ukuba zivulwe ngokungalindelekanga. Imijukujelwa yenyukliya yayiza kuqaliswa ngokwabo.
Owu ewe, bekuza kubakho uqhushululu oluninzi. Ukuba ubonile nayiphi na Mad Max Imiboniso bhanyabhanya, oku kuqhuma kwe-dystopi kulindeleke ukuba kwehle, apho abantu bekuya kufuneka balwe nayo kwi-Octagon ngenxa yesonka.
I-bug ye-Y2K ibhalwe njengomhla wentlekele. Ikwahamba kwakhona yi-moniker ye-Millennium Bug kunye nengxaki yoNyaka ka-2000. Kwaye i-Y2K yayingabizi; kwaqikelelwa ukuba I-US ichithe i-195 yezigidigidi zeedola ukulungiselela i-Y2K.
Isilumkiso seSpoiler: U-Eva wonyaka omtsha ka-2000 wangena-kwaye akukho nto yenzekileyo.
I-theorist yelenqe yayinosuku lwentsimi kunye ne-Y2K bug. Abantu abanenzondelelo yempambano bayibona njengesiphelo seentsuku. Ababizwa ngokuba ziingcali balinganisa kwangaphambili ukuba uluntu lulele, ukuba abathathi manyathelo kwintlekele ebekufanele ukuba ithi gingci kwikona.
Iwebhusayithi yamiselwa ibizwa ngokuba: IBhunga likaMongameli ngoNyaka wama-2000 wokuGuquka . Icandelo kwi Iifayile ze-X Indawo enesandi, iphendulwe: Amarhe ka-2000 .
Amarhe okuba umongameli uza kubhengeza imeko yesizwe yolawulo lomkhosi wenguqu ka-2000, apheliswa.
Ngaba ufuna omnye umzekelo? Amarhe: Uninzi lweekhompyuter zelifti kunye neenkqubo ezigxunyekwe ziya kusilela ngoJanuwari 1, 2000.
Kwakuthuthuzela ukufunda ukuba impendulo yeelifti eziwayo ezinzulwini zobusuku yayingeyonyani.
Uloyiko lwe-Y2K bug lwakhuthaza umzi-mveliso wonke wamakhaya asindayo. Umzi mveliso wamanzi webhotile ubone ngokukodwa ukunyuka kwentengiso, njengoko abantu begcinise izinto ezilindileyo kwaye belindele ukuba igridi iye ezantsi ngokupheleleyo. Ukuthengiswa kwemipu kwenyuka kulungiselelwa konke ukuphangwa nokuphangwa okwakuza kwenzeka kwizitalato zaseMelika. (Jonga uJohn Carpenter Baleka eNew York ngomzekeliso ongaphezulu koku.)
Abantu banokuchitha imali ukuthenga izinto zokusinda ze-Y2K njengoko kubonisiwe kule vidiyo, kuba bebecinga ukuba igridi yamandla iyakuhla.
Ukubulawa kwamaxwebhu kwaveliswa kukhokelela kwi-Y2K. Yiya kuYouTube kwaye wonwabe kunye nabo. U-Leonard Nimoy wabamba indawo Isikhokelo sokuSinda soSapho . Ewe, yonke into wena kunye nabantu obathandayo niyifuna ukusinda kule tech-pocalyse inokufunyanwa kule vidiyo ifundisayo kwaye ifundise i-VHS-njengoko uxelelwe yindoda eyadlala uMnu Spock Inkwenkwezi yetrek.
Inkampani ekhawulezayo ichaze isivuno seencwadi zokusinda ze-Y2K eziye zavela ngelo xesha ukunceda ukusifumana nge-techno-doomsday. (Zonke, ezo, ndiqinisekile, zaphoswa ngoko nangoko emgqomeni wokuthengiselana wakuba umhla wajika ngoJanuwari 1, 2000.) Izikhokelo zokusinda zeY2K zaba luhlobo loncwadi lonke.
Ubukhulu becala, zonke iincwadi ezinxulunyaniswa ne-Y2K zinezembozo ezimnandi ezinokufumaneka kweli cala leScientology. Ukuba awundikholelwa, jonga uqweqwe lwencwadi: Y2K: Sele Lihambile Ixesha .
Thatha kwakhona i-gander apha: Ixesha leBhombu ka-2000: Intsingiselo yonyaka ka-2000 yeNgxaki yeKhompyuter yakho! Le gem, yayingeyiyo kuphela INew York Times ethengisa kakhulu (enyanisweni, bekukho i-Y2K ezininzi NGOKU bestsellers), kodwa baphinde bakhulisa zonke iimeko ezimbi ze-Y2K-ukusukela ekuweni kwe-US Postal Service ukuya kwi-baseball ishiywa njengesiqhelo selizwe laseMelika.
Ukungathethi loo nto Ixesha leBhombu 2000 Umhla, kodwa nantsi inkcazo yencwadi:
Ayizizo iifowuni zakho, hayi umatshini wemali, nkqu iVCR yakho entsha. Konke ngenxa yeenkqubo ezimfutshane zekhompyuter zathatha amashumi eminyaka eyadlulayo.
Iyinyani, iyenzeka, kwaye iyoyikisa ...
Yincwadi yokuqala kuye wonke umntu ofuna ukusinda kwingxaki yekhompyuter yoNyaka ka-2000.
Enye ifavyayiyincwadi: Ukunyibilika kweMillenium : Amaqhinga okomoya kunye nokuSebenza ukuze usinde kwiY2K. Uqweqwe lwencwadi kuphela lwalundibulisile. Intengiso ekujoliswe kuyo Ukunyibilika kweMillenium yayingabaphangi ababenolwazi oluncinci kwitekhnoloji.
Kubalulekile ukuba sifunde indlela yokukhusela usapho lwethu, amakhaya ethu, kunye nemali yethu kule ngozi izayo. Le ncwadi izakucacisa iindlela ezisebenzayo zokukhusela usapho lwakho kwezona ziphumo zibi kwezobuchwephesha kubomi bethu.
Kwaye masingayilibali incwadi, I-Y2K yaBasetyhini . Ewe, kutheni i-Y2K iyinto yendoda, xa abafazi bengazibandakanya nabo? Kwaye, kwakulungile ukuba nembono yabasetyhini malunga nokuwa okunokubakho kuluntu. I-Y2K yaBasetyhini ikwabonakalise enye i-engile kwi-Y2K hype-umbono wezenkolo, obeka ityala kubahedeni. Umbhali wayengumlobi ongumKristu owayenika iingcebiso, ephembelela uloyiko kwaye wayidibanisa yonke nomgwebo kaThixo kuthi wokuba sibi…
Okokugqibela, xa itekhnoloji yayiza kuqhekeka, uqhushululu lwaluza kudala ezitalatweni kwaye ii-ATM zazisetyenziswa njengabanini bezityalo, omnye kusafuneka atye kwaye enze ukutya okumnandi. Kulapho Isikhokelo sokuSinda se-Y2K kunye ne-Cookbook yaqala ukudlala. Isishwankathelo:
Isibonelelo esingaxabisekanga ukulungiselela naluphi na uhlobo lwentlekele, nokuba yey-Y2K okanye indalo yomama. Inezinto zokupheka kunye neendlela zokupheka ngaphandle kwesitovu sasekhitshini, ulwazi malunga nokuthenga nokugcina ukutya, izinto ngokubanzi ekufuneka zibekhona, indlela yokugcina amanzi ngokukhuselekileyo, ukulahla inkunkuma xa kuphuma umbane, ukufudumeza nokulayita ikhaya lakho ngaphandle kombane .
Ekugqibeleni, i-Y2K yayisisahluko esigqithisileyo kwimbali yezobuchwephesha yaseMelika, kwaye konke okushiyekileyo, ekuvukeni kwayo, yayilixa elikhulu leebhotile ezigciniweyo zamanzi, isikhokelo sokusinda sevidiyo ngoku kunye nengalo-ende yezihloko zeencwadi eziphulaphuleyo Ngelo xesha lilula xa uJohnny Mnemonic wayenokubamba kuphela iigigs ezingama-80 entlokweni yakhe.
