2000年计算机问题(俗称“千年虫”)给世界带来的危险像1995年日 本神户地震一样的可怕,造成的损失之大将可与1998年通用汽车 公司职工罢工造成的损失相比,而其严峻程度也只有1997年亚洲金融危机能够相比。专家都竞相谈论计算机千年虫危险的可怕。在跨入2000年时,计算机千年虫问题可能使世界损失6000亿美元,并且会影响到世界的经济增长。但是,这一过程虽然将是痛苦的,却也会给一些人(如信息技术工作者和出版商)带来巨大好处。
The danger brought by the computer problem in 2000 (commonly known as the “millennium bug”) was as terrible as the Kobe earthquake in Japan in 1995, and the magnitude of the losses caused can be compared with the losses caused by the strike of employees of General Motors in 1998. The degree is only comparable to the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Experts are racing to talk about the terrible danger of the computer millennium bug. In the year 2000, the Y2K problem of computers may cause the world to lose 600 billion U.S. dollars, and it will affect the economic growth of the world. However, although this process will be painful, it will also bring great benefits to some people (such as information technology workers and publishers).
