Abstract
The year 2000 is ripe with meaning for Computer Science. First, it signifies the end of one millennium and the start of another. As with all disciplines anew millennium invites speculation on the future of the discipline. For Computer Science, the year 2000 has extra layers of meaning. As everyone knows-even the comput”mg illiterate-it is the name of a software bug. But this is no ordinary bug: it symbolizes the -youth of the discipline; the lack of prectilon with which this discipline has progressed; the unforeseen success of the discipline. Thus this particular conjunction of time, failure and success provides a mirror on the future from the past. Some of these reflections are pursued in this paper.
