There was an old joke from I believe Jerry Seinfeld which came out around the time the Y2K scare was in full force.
I am probably going to butcher it as I am no comedian but it went something like:
>All these people are freaking out about this whole Y2K thing. What are we going to do when the internet and computers all stop working?! I always respond with, "I know it will be horrible, it will be like living in the 80s again"
Now clearly I realize if all computers went down there would be real world consequences and issues, however I still like the joke.
