For millennials, blue can be a significant color. It is associated with clues left by well-meaning figures from our youth. Songs about a little guy who lives in a blue world (Da Ba Dee Da Ba Di). Or the rage-inducing catastrophic failure of the Windows computer in front of us.

In other words, the Blue Screen of Death.

And now, the world is set to bid farewell to a generation’s most feared and iconic error message, as Microsoft announced on Thursday that the screen is officially being replaced by the less friendly but more efficient Black Screen of Death.
