The Y2K problem is not caused by technical limitations. We simply forgot to think of the problem.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
How could this Y2K be a problem in a country where we have Intel and Microsoft?
W2K will be a bigger disaster than Y2K.
Y2K hype taps our native discomfort with the realities of a dynamic, evolving social order. It elevates personal, local contact over the impersonality of the 'extended order' of trade and technological networks. It suggests that we can wipe the slate clean and start from scratch.
There's a consistency in my work that pops up independent of the limitations of the technology.
There are some problems that technology can't solve.
It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years.
Its limitations are those of the physical universe: it won't let you play with some really wild ideas that aren't possible, but are fun to speculate about.
The problem is that there are very few technologies that essentially haven't changed for 60, 70 years.
I think the most difficult thing had been scaling the infrastructure. Trying to support the response we had received from our users and the number of people that were interested in using the software.
If you look at, you know, the limitations of creating new products, you're only limited by the technology that you have to work with.
