In just a decade, people saw tremendous technological progress, from “Nokia” to the first search engine “Google”. New creations made people anxious including the infamous “Millennium Bug”. Millions feared an internet crash on New Year’s Eve of 2000, believing systems couldn’t correctly interpret the transition to the year ‘00’ and potentially causing civilization to crumble. At midnight almost nothing happened bringing relief to everyone.Paul Saffo, a professor at Stanford University, says that the Y2K crisis didn’t happen because programmers started preparing for it a decade in advance while people weren’t aware of it. Incidents like U.S. spy satellites that stopped working for days prove that if no steps were taken to address them, the potential damage might have been much worse.

’90s nostalgiais experiencing a long-lasting comeback compared to any other decade. Psychologist Erica Hepper suggests that feelings of nostalgia peak twice in life: in young adulthood and again in old age. For young adults, it helps to deal with transitions, as they’re just moving away from home or starting their new careers. Millennials, like other generations, look back on memories of holidays, pets, and life in school, seeking nostalgia and comfort. Nowadays, the surge of ‘90s nostalgia is fully embraced online in a way previous generations couldn’t.
