Year 10,000 problem
The Year 10,000 problem (also known as the Y10K problem, Y10K Bug, and Y10K) is an error machines and computers will encounter when the need to express five digits for a year.
Some people practice the art of cutting the last two digits of a decade. For example, the "1970's" becomes just the "70's".
However, this becomes a problem, because to keep order, one will now need to take the last three digits, rather than two.
This is also a problem because the "000's" might be confused with the legit "00's", representing a new century. Also, the year can overflow with certain computer programs. On Microsoft Excel, for instance, in a cell the date 12/31/9999 is a legit date, but 1/1/10000 causes a problem. The date "ten thousand" is unable to be supported, producing a large negative instead.
So far, the Long Now Foundation is able to preempt the Y10K by adding a "0" in front of the date. So the current year of 2021, will look like 02021. However, it would still be subsceptible to a "Y100K" problem.
