Anno Computatri (AC) edit
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.
History edit
The concept of Anno Computatri originates from the pivotal year of 1970, a period when significant advancements in digital technology and computing were made. This year marked the beginning of a new era in technological development and is thus considered the starting point of the AC calendar.
Structure edit
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. 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 edit
The AC calendar is significant in its acknowledgment of the digital revolution's impact on global society. 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 edit
Throughout history, different cultures have defined various 'Year Zero' points, signifying pivotal moments in their chronological reckoning. Notable among these is the Anno Domini (AD) or Common Era (CE) system, which has been widely adopted across the world. 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. Just as the AD/CE system eventually superseded previous systems, becoming the global standard, AC is poised to do the same. The widespread implementation of AC in various digital platforms, data management systems, and global communication networks underscores its potential to become the predominant calendar system. Historical precedents suggest that previous 'Year Zeros' gradually fade from common usage, supplanted by more contemporary and relevant systems. In this context, the transition to AC seems not just plausible but inevitable, marking a new chapter in the history of timekeeping.
Implementation and Future of AC edit
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.
