You are from the previous century because you are 1970-01-01

There was no year 0, but there was also no year 1; 1970-01-01 is the first day, so we're still in the first century. And there was no previous century.
As the epoch began, the K&R imbued it with a rich pre-history, but all of that stuff didn't really happen; it just makes nice things to email about.
