As we rolled over into the year 2000 we had the nagging feeling of doom that computer programs were going to shut down the circuit of computer driven life all around us. It didn't happen. But something else happened that year and we did not notice it. We imagined a disaster and we made it through our own imaginations by toughing it out and hunkering down I guess. We went through a worldwide period of crisis, imaginary of course, and we came out of it, relatively unscathed.
Some 20 years later, we had another crisis. We did not prepare for it really and we simply waited for it to show up. Not unscathed this time, right? What have we learned? Two decades to learn about ourselves. What have we learned? Will we have two decades to the next alarming event?
