 * Early stages of Power armor in development: After the creation of exo-suits, many began to speculate the heavy version of the exo-suit, many turned towards the development of a heavy mechanical suit called Power Armor. However, unlike the standard exo-skeletons from before, the heavier Power Armor covers much of the body. While Power Armor provides protection from most fall damage, cooling systems, targeting systems, Bullet and sometimes laser proof, etc. it is balanced by being much more stiff and heavy than the previous exoskeletons that only covers arms, back torso, and legs. If this was medieval times, the Exo-Suits are leather or chainmail armor, while the Power armor are like fully armored metal knights. Many countries such as the armor developed by the United Great lakes Republic (and later Free States), Petersburg Confederation, USME, Australia, and Latin Union are one of the first to attain this armor.
 * The Arctic is becoming icefree:  In earlier decades, tipping points were already being reached, such as the Arctic becoming ice-free during summer. By 2044, an even greater and more serious threat is emerging in the form of greenhouse gases from melting permafrost.
 * Overall Cancer survival rate is reaching 70%: Research into cancer led to a marked improvement in survival rates during the late 20th century, a trend which continued into the 21st. Rapid falls in genome sequencing costs, together with increasingly sophisticated mouse models, provided ever more valuable insights into the nature and mechanisms of the illness. New treatments and earlier diagnoses were made possible using targeted nano-particles and eventually nanorobotics for delivering medicines with greater precision and fewer side effects. Five-year survival rates are now approaching 100% for Bowel Cancer alone in the US, with many other countries not far behind, one accounting for many different Cancers. Truly- Humanity is great.
 * Transglobal highways is emerging: Many companies around the world began a mass project to create a transglobal highway connecting almost every country in the world from South America to the Middle-east. The several name for these many highways varies from country to country, but the universal term would be the Transglobal Roads (North and South American Highways, European Highway, Pan-Asian High way, the African Highway, and the Oceanian Highway). The 6 main Transglobal highways could be linked, and could produce a safe path for faster transportation of goods. All this could be connected into a single highway. However, what stands in the way of a Central Transglobal Highway is the ongoing cold war between several key players.
