19th Of Jan. 2038 Is The End Of Technology? (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
An issue with 32-bit computer systems could result in widespread problems on Tuesday 19 January 2038.
Back at the end of the 20th century, panic about the Year 2000 bug saw thousands of businesses scrambling to upgrade their computers in fear that the allegedly crippling flaw would cause widespread problems at the beginning of the new millennium.
As it turned out the bug, which had been fixed by most businesses before the turn of the calendar, ended up having very little impact at all and the preceding doomsday predictions of a global economic collapse never came to pass.
Im thinking by then technology will have advanced fast enough beyond the 32-bit problem in 2038 that this will not be much if any problem at all.
