They were convinced that computers would crash, and it would lead to pandemonium among the people because we are so dependent on computers. Scientists were convinced that the computers would not be able to recognize the time change of the new millennium, as they had only invented computers to count up to 99, and feared that systems would crash as the clock counted over to 00

I hope this was what you were asking and I hope it helps :)
