Zachary Loeb, studying Y2K for his Ph.D., discovered it wasn't merely hype; serious people took it seriously, leading him to reflect on its historical significance.
The New York Times documented the Y2K situation extensively, publishing nearly 140 stories leading up to and following the millennium, reflecting its importance in society's technological landscape.
