Poll: Y2K* on December 31, 1999 turned out to be a non-event. What might December 31, 2999 portend for the world?

A. Meh, as a species, we’ve learned a lot in the 20 to 21 years since that first hoopla, and we’ll continue to learn even more in the next 1078 years to come. There will be no “scare” as the year 3000 approaches. Yawnsville.

B. Your tildes will still be just as worthless then as they are today, and your descendants will hate you for leaving them piles of useless junk. Start unloading them now to avoid the shame.

C.  In retrospect, the 1999/2000 ballyhoo will seem quaint and antiquated by standards of 2999. No one will be so silly as to assume there will be any problems.

D.  The mantra of the day will be: “We’re all going to die, we’re all going to die!”  (Well, the people who will be alive at that time.) Mad panic in the streets.

E. Advances in technologies will have by then surpassed human ability to control, contain, overcome, or understand it. The outlook will be even more grim than Y2K.

*If you’re unfamiliar with the term Y2K, please look it up.
