No, it isn't. Though the Y2K bug posed some problems for computers and computer systems, it was largely headed off by thinking programmers and IT people. Those who understood the nature of the bug saw it as a minor inconvenience rather than a serious problem. If anyone was really scared over the situation, it is probable that their fears were borne out of ignorance. The proof is in the pudding. Does anyone recall with clarity the "big noise" about the bug and what really happened? Probably not many. Nothing much occurred. It was "no biggie" in the grand scheme of things, and it's that simple.

Why was y2k a major problem?

It might have been. Y2K Stands for year two thousand. The old computers went from 1997 to 98 to 99, and 00 is an invalid date. Basically all the computers in the world would have shut down, and yes, that includes the bank computers. It would have been a major problem because basically everyone would be bankrupt at the stroke of midnight on January 1st 2000. Scary, no?
