The World in 2024 the year half the world voted

India's election ran for six weeks and about 640 million people voted. That is nearly twice as many people as live in the whole United States.

Life back then

Phones came with AI built in, and people leaned on chatbots for emails and homework. A bad software update in July froze millions of Windows computers and stranded travelers at airports around the world.

Taylor Swift finished the Eras Tour in December, and dictionaries picked brain rot as the word of the year.
