Hold on to your butts, #y2k18 is coming.

I'm sure it's happening already, but web forms that ask for birthdays and use the fixed 19## instead of #### format are going to start breaking en masse in a little more than a year once the damn kids born after 1999 start applying for majority-related things. What are we going to call it, #y2k18?

Prediction: Just as something like 98% of Steam users were born on January 1st, I suspect an increasingly large number of people will have been born in 1999.

That, or a shocking upturn in people approaching their 13th decade.

Yeah, things like that which involve money or real identity, but also more law-related things that are based on minority/majority status.
