Assalammu‘alaikum wr. wb.

Hello, everyone. How are you today? I hope you're all well! 2024 is a Leap Year, as it contains February 29th. Unlike the previous three years (2020-2023), this year will truly return to normal life, similar to 2019 and earlier, as the COVID-19 pandemic will end in 2024.

This year also marks the continuation of several conflicts that have occurred in previous years, such as the Israel-Palestine (Hamas) Conflict, the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, the Myanmar (Rohingya) Civil War, and the War in Sudan.

Furthermore, 2024 is the year with the highest number of Elections in 21st-century history, not just in Indonesia and the United States. In fact, the European Union Parliament will also hold Elections this year.

In the field of Technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) also continues to develop rapidly in 2024, as carried out by several large technology companies such as OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Claude, etc. Additionally, 2024 marks the introduction of the NPU (Neural Processing Unit) processor, a CPU equipped with AI technology.

Meanwhile, what will be discussed in 2024 are events such as Natural Disasters, Tragedies/Incidents, Product/Application Launches, Deaths of Figures, Sports Events, Political/Economic/Legal Events, Conflicts, Scientific and Technological Innovations, Health, and others.
