Timestamps are a number that counts the number of seconds from the epoch 
date 1/1/1970.
I read somewhere on the 
internet<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem>, 
that timestamps will expire in the year 2038.
This is why I always use *yyyy-mm-dd* and *yyyy-mm-dd HH:ss* to show the 
date and I don't use timestamps or time database columns.
 
Is it a good idea to use timestamps, or should I continue with yyyy-mm-dd 
HH:ss ?
