Millennium bug
Millennium bug. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a booklouse on a computer chip, representing the millennium bug. The millennium bug theory was concerned with some computers being unable to understand the change of digits from 99" to " 00" at the turn of the century to the year 2000. This was due to the fact that computers only use the last two digits of each year on their internal calendars. Magnification: x30 at 6x7cm size."

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the infamous Millennium bug, a phenomenon that sent shockwaves through the world of technology at the turn of the century. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we witness a booklouse delicately perched on a computer chip, symbolizing the collision between nature and electronic innovation. The millennium bug theory revolved around computers struggling to comprehend the transition from "99" to "00" as they only recognized the last two digits for their internal calendars. This microscopic image serves as a visual reminder of how such a minuscule discrepancy could potentially disrupt global systems. With an impressive magnification level of x30, every intricate detail is brought into focus, showcasing both the fragility and complexity inherent in our technological advancements. The 6x7cm size further emphasizes how even something as small as a booklouse can have significant implications on our digital infrastructure. Through this thought-provoking composition by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of humanity's constant battle to bridge gaps between natural and artificial worlds. It serves as an enduring testament to our relentless pursuit of progress while urging us to remain vigilant in addressing potential vulnerabilities within our ever-evolving technological landscape.
