Y2K: Chronicles of a working Life
Chronicles of a Working Life
Y2K - When the exploring aliens discover Earth and start to excavate the remains of the planet. They find and excavate an airport. At this airport they may discover a few bones of humankind, and maybe some artifacts such as a rotting mass of a Boeing or Airbus aircraft, all buried under mountains of paperwork.
They may diagnose that it took two tons of paperwork to create one plane, but what was the purpose of this rotting mass of metal and components, what did it do?
Then these clever aliens would try to analyze our written languages, and find that it was intelligent, and understandable from the caveman right up until the computer was invented, and then language became a heap on unintelligible code, such as the code word Y2K.
The aliens would not understand the significance of Y2K.
They might even believe it to be some kind of invisible global earthbound pandemic. Based on finding so many references to Y2K virus.
The visiting aliens would surmise that humans were extremely primitive until AI and robots arrived, but who invented them. It was impossible that humankind could create this intelligence.
Y2K like most events become smaller in the rearview mirror based on time travel.

After years of traveling like a gypsy around this beautiful planet, we all have the privilege to experience each day, I started to write and publish children’s stories, mythical stories, stories that are inspired by poems, Chicken Soup stories, and stories from my adventurous past.
