2001: A Space Odyssey: An In-Universe example with the HAL 9000 computer.April 2000: This 1952 film is an Austrian satire in which the Allied occupation of Austria continues until 2000. While naming a work 2000 now is passé (since 2000 is in the past), years like 20 continue to collect examples that showcase 'futurism' (because they haven't happened yet). People began releasing new properties of old works with 2000 as part of the name, to attract audiences to the 'new and updated' release. As part of the Information Age boom, many associate the Turn of the Millennium with advances in technology and improved power sources, which would lead to a number of examples overlapping with Annual Title (works that are named based on proximity to the year of release). This trope rose to prominence in the lead-up to the 21st century, because in the late 1990's people were excited about the upcoming year 2000. The names tend to be used for specific things in works, and will only sometimes be used to name the work itself (more common if they share the name). By 'large number', we generally mean over a thousand, as very few examples are only a hundred times better than version 1. By adding a large number on the end of a name, you can imply it is a more advanced/futuristic version of an already existing person/product.
