After tiring of the fighting between the parties and with more people moving towards the middle, Libertarian and Independent have become more viable in the U.S., yet are not quite there only capturing a combined 30% of the votes.

The European economy is bailed out by a collective effort of Japan, China, Russia (who puts in the least and almost didn't sign the agreement), the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. 75% of the aid came from China, the U.S. Japan, and Canada.

China's economic/industrial/manufacturing/business growth and aid of Europe to stabilize world economies puts them into a major recession.

A cure for various types of cancer was developed in England and has spread throughout the world. Only a few types remain including Brain Cancer. A cure for H.I.V. and AIDS has also been found, however, there is another disease that has turned up that authorities from the W.H.O. and N.I.H./C.D.C. say could very well take it's place. In addition, with all of the use of disinfectants, anti-bacterial soap, and people not fully taking their antibiotics correctly, two different bacterial strains, resistant to anti-bacterial and antibiotics have turned up in the U.S. and Europe and areas have had to be quarantined. The world is keeping an eye on this.

The Playstation 5 was introduced, which has the capability of virtual reality in limited capacity. It replaces the fully 3D Playstation 4. The X Box Cubed has taken hits due to Microsoft's legal issues and with Apple gaining huge popularity and its Operating system, Panther becoming equal with Windows.

Most all action, war, adventure, and sci-fi movies made prior to 2000 have been remade and the few left are slated within the next 5 years. C.G. has taken huge strides and now almost everyone likes the new effects for their realistic appearance. All movies are in real 3D and virtual reality movies are also underway. The same technology as used on the Playstation 5, but modified.

The world population is at 8 billion and some military and scientific outposts are being built on the moon as well as on 6 new space stations. A ship to Mars is slated for 2025 to determine the capability to colonize it's surface and underground with biospheres.

Computers are now running at 8 gHz on all models with some at 10 gHz, 10 Gigs of RAM on up to 16 Gigs, and up to 4 Terrabytes of hard drive space.

Yet there are still no flying cars, hover boards, or houses in the sky with Android maids and cooks in every house.
