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.

The Y2K problem is not caused by technical limitations. We simply forgot to think of the problem.

How could this Y2K be a problem in a country where we have Intel and Microsoft?

The Y2K bug is a genuine technical concern, consuming the energies of many specialists. But the prophecies of doom represent a broader worldview using the bug as a news hook. In this vision, the good society is a stable society, undisrupted by innovation, ambition or outside influences.

Mobile will probably disrupt much of what we know of web 2.0.

Business 2.0 was hugely profitable last year, and will be profitable this year.

Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of Islamic extremists will be a disaster for the world.

Creative destruction is gonna be the greatest thing that can happen to Manhattan.

'2.0' is an entirely new thing in Indian cinema, a movie to watch out for.

The collective energy of everyone is what really made Business 2.0 exciting.
