Most of us are just recovering from the GDPR panic of 2017. Some of us are old enough to remember the SOX panic of 2003. Still a fewer number of us remember the Y2K panic of 1999. [Granted, the former examples turned out to be a little more concerning than the latter.]

We have a new panic brewing on the horizon. If my read of human nature is accurate, we should start hearing about it in our tech circles around May and it should reach board-room frenzy-state by August or September.
