Well, here we are, Jess. It's the end of a decade. I've lived through the end of four decades.

And besides the beginning of the aughts where apparently everyone was convinced that computers were going to rise up and kill us all, This seems like the most momentous beginning to a decade.

It does feel really momentous.

But hold on, I'm confused.

Who was convinced that computers were going to rise up and kill us all, Amani?

What?

Y2K.

Don't you remember Y2K?

I do, but I'm pretty sure. I mean, it was a I do, but I'm pretty sure.

I mean, it was a while ago,

but I'm pretty sure Y2K wasn't about a computer uprising.

A robot uprising?

I don't think that was in it either, I'm on it.
