I've been hearing about the Y2K bug. What was that?

That was a bug in computer software that was supposed to be fixed by January 1, 2000. It was a problem with how computers were storing numbers in binary form. The number 0 was stored as 00000000, and the number 1 was stored as 00000010. When you add two numbers together, the result is the sum of the digits in each number. So if you add 00000+00000010, you get 11000010.
