Floppy disks (or "diskettes").

Also, Y2K.

I just want to say that I hate that Y2K evolved into calling things "2K##", eg, NBA 2K22. What does this prove. We used Y2K because it was easier than typing or saying 2000.... But 2K19 (or whatever isn't any easier than simply 2019 or "twenty nineteen"....

It took something that was supposed to be easier, and made everything worse. Stop it.
