The world is still functioning --the Y2K problem has been largely fixed.
Can you believe that 20 years ago (1980) we did not have:
- personal computers;
- Internet;
- VCRs;
- more than 12 TV channels;
- fax machines;
- compact disk players;
- Walkmans;
- cell phones;
- answering machines; and
- global positioning system.
