 | | The year 10,000 problem or Y10K is the collective name for all potential software bugs that may emerge as the need to express years with five digits arises. |
 | | This may not be a problem in the year 10,000, as it is highly unlikely that any of the technology or software in use today will still be active at that time (to imagine the technological advances in the next 8,000 years, consider the technological advances in the last 8,000 years). |
 | | A lot of date-handling programs during the year 2000 displayed the year as 1800, 1900, 19100, or 100 because the programmers often simply inserted the text "19" in front of a calculation of the last two digits of the year as a shortcut or a way to save memory space. |
