Okay...in OTL, the first real effort at an exoskeleton was the Hardiman. As you should know, it was a dismal failure. Before this turned out to be the case, all sorts of potential applications for wearable machinery that could enhance the strength of the wearer while still being easy to use were imagined. Now, let's say that GE is somewhat smarter, and manage to construct a fully functional exoskeleton, which is complete by 1969. Now, let's say that these exoskeletons become refined and commonly used in various fields by the end of the 1970s. What PODs would neccesitate such a change, and what PODs would result from such a change?
(By the way, if you're wondering what they look like...think the Hardiman, but functional, and with the user fully encased, except for maybe the head and chest.)
