Anno Computatri (AC)
Anno Computatri (AC) is a modern calendar system that starts its count from the year 1970 AD/CE, recognized as Year 0 AC. The calendar reflects the increasing influence and significance of digital technology in modern society, marking the start of what is considered the digital age. The concept appears to have pulled out of someones ass. [1]
History
The concept of Anno Computatri originates from the pivotal year of 1970, a period when significant advancements in digital technology and computing were made. [2] This year marked the beginning of a new era in technological development and is thus considered the starting point of the AC calendar.
Structure
The AC calendar follows the structure of the traditional Gregorian calendar in terms of months and days but differs in its year count, which begins from 1970. [3] This alignment with the familiar structure of the Gregorian calendar ensures continuity and ease of adoption while reflecting the commencement of the digital era.
Significance
The AC calendar is significant in its acknowledgment of the digital revolution's impact on global society. [4] It is used in various digital platforms and systems, providing a consistent framework for timestamping and data management in a range of technological and scientific applications.
Historical Perspectives on Year Zero
Throughout history, different cultures have defined various 'Year Zero' points, signifying pivotal moments in their chronological reckoning.[ citation needed] The introduction of Anno Computatri (AC), marking 1970 as the new 'Year Zero', represents a modern shift in this tradition, reflecting the growing influence and ubiquity of digital technology. [5]
Implementation and Future of AC
Following the historical context of 'Year Zero', this section delves into the specifics of AC's implementation across digital platforms and its potential as the predominant calendar system for future generations. [2]
