Late 1990s: Y2K bug Early & Mid 2000s: The potential of a worse terrorist attack than 9/11 Late 2000s: Economic collapse Early 2010s: The Mayan Calendar (2012) Mid 2010s: Terrorist attacks from ISIS Late 2010s: Mass shootings Early 2020s: COVID-19 Mid 2020s (prediction): Either AI/the singularity, economic collapse, or World War III
