Even if you don't own a computer or highly technological equipment, computerized equipment and services are part of all our lives. Even though it is nearly impossible for a person to be completely prepared for the arrival of the year 2000, you can still attempt to secure your financial and legal life in certain fields and have the necessary recourses to live. Water can be stored in any plastic container that range from paint buckets to general water bottles. Non perishable food would be a primary resource needed, since many food production facilities are likely to be out of business. If you feel worried about moving your automobile from place to place it might be a good idea to buy an extra gallon of gas every time you purchase some and store it in large plastic containers. Without the computerized records that most businesses keep, you may find yourself in sudden financial trouble. You can attempt to avoid this by getting written consent proving that you have paid a bill or deposited a certain amount of money into the bank. This way you should have access to all of your money, and won't end up paying bills (maybe even the wrong amount) twice. Having a year 2000 compatible computer would be a great asset to your life after the year 2000. At any computer store or major computer you are able to buy an updated computer that has four digits for a date. Or you can upgrade the computer that you with CD's that have recently come out.
This problem has been acknowledged from the distant past, but hasn't been acted upon until just recently. For this mistake the population of America, and various other places in the world will pay the price of the inedible consequence.
