本美术片是系列木偶剧《阿凡提的故事》的第八集。顶着大大的包头的跳梁小丑对穷人不屑一顾，对权贵财主拍马溜须，阿凡提嘲笑他一副软骨头像，包头倒是给自己的毛驴戴更合适，他反鄙夷地说包头是智慧的象征，毛驴不配戴，阿凡提笑笑，说能教毛驴读书识字，小丑将之报告了宰相。宰相命阿凡提限期一月教会他常骑的毛驴读书，否则问罪，阿凡提利用“条件反射”原理训练毛驴，没令宰相和小丑的阴谋得逞，宰相再令他一月之内教会毛驴说人话，他可没想到，到头来被戏耍的人是自己。

An all-archival deep dive into the ‘millennium bug’, the widespread cultural hysteria in the lead-up to the year 2000 that redefined our relationship to technology.The prospect of the millennium bug – aka the Y2K bug – was no joke in the late 1990s. When it was discovered that computers were not programmed to effectively interpret the two digits 00, many believed that our entering a new millennium would precipitate a catastrophic global technological collapse. As computer programmers worked tirelessly to solve the potential glitch, doomsday preppers began stockpiling arms and supplies, while state politicians and pop culture icons stepped onto TV to address the nation and debate the pandemonium. Through news reels, press briefings and home videos, co-directors Marley McDonald and Brian Becker craft a thrilling time capsule of a society grappling with the rise of computers, at a pivotal moment in contemporary history.源自：
