Discovering an Appalachian Collective Unconscious: a look at traditional family beliefs as heirlooms of our ancestors
In the year 1999, much of America was obsessed with the idea that at 12:01AM on Jan 1, 2000 the entire computer network in the world would shut down. While talking to his grandmother, who was not worried about Y2K (the year 2000) situation, the idea of this project came to Michael Blankenship. She maintained that if the Y2K situation came to be, people like her would survive it nicely because they had lived without computers for many years and knew how to survive. In interviews, Vivial Blankenship spoke of growing up on a farm, selling farm products, grinding grain to make flour, milking cows, using a spring house for refrigeration, and much more from many years before computers.
