Hi Everyone, By January 19, 2038 the Unix timestamp will exceed its limit (not too distant given the updates needed from many systems). It could be wise to highlight this issue sooner rather than later. Thanks, Adel

By 2038, most programs will need to be rewritten or updated to support larger data types like 64-bit or even 128-bit. This could bring back the concerns from 2k, but it's unlikely to cause major issues.

It seems like you're expressing concern about the future. The world might face challenges similar to past issues.

I hope so, but the situation is different. A lot of old apps remain live. What makes you wonder why we keep using Internet Explorer? Of course, the same outdated programs!
