According to a recent survey of 1,216 Taiwanese people conducted by Taiwanese Legislator Lin Chih-chia, 84.7 % of those polled have no idea what the Y2K bug is. Ignorance runs so high, in fact, that 38.3 % of those questioned think Y2K is a cosmetic brand name and another 15 % believe it is the name of a household product. Only 18.3 % understand that Y2K is a computer problem that may create difficulties on January 1, 2000. The problem could stem from the lack of techno-savvy respondents: 80.3 % did not have a computer at home. Legislator Lin suggests to boost Y2K publicity. Despite their own lack of understanding, 67.7 % expressed no confidence in their government_s ability the correct the problem either.
