*The five-digit year is a reminder to address the deca-millennium bug that will strike in just 7984 years (the Y10K problem).
The Long Now Foundation is constructing a mechanical clock that is designed to keep time for the next 10,000 years. The talk will discuss the purpose and design of the clock as well as the issues it raises about what type of time standards are applicable over the design lifetime of the clock.
