What was everyday life like in 1999-2000?

The Millennium Bug or Y2K bug had the entire world bracing for the end of the world as we knew it. The fear was that a technological meltdown would occur when the calendar flipped from 1999 to 2000. People were stockpiling food and water, as governments around the world were preparing for chaos. While the transition went on without a hitch, people were giddy about being alive in the year 2000. The world watched in awe as the Sydney Opera House lit up the night sky as the first major city to ring in the year 2000.
