Elfen, my question is this about Y2K that I never understood: How could the clock resetting from 1999 to 1900 set off missiles? And how did everyone feel when they woke up on January 1, 2000?

I know there is some Y2K-esque thing that is supposed to happen in 2037 or 2038 with modern computers. How will that affect us then?

Please keep in mind that at the time of Y2K (New Years 2000), I was only six months old.
