Main Topic Discussion:Hold onto your hats, or rather, your CPUs, because IBM just announced a whopping $150 billion investment in America. That’s billion with a 'B', folks. They're not buying super yachts or gold-plated hoverboards. Nope, they're accelerating our tech opportunities. Meanwhile, over at the Norwalk station, LA Metro is rolling out weapons screening technology. Because nothing says 'Good Morning, Commuters!' like a little sci-fi security check. Then there's Iowa State, demystifying the enigma of the 'technology fee.' Spoiler alert: It's not just a fancy term for 'Because we can.' And for those of you with a lead foot, Virginia’s using technology to turn chronic speeders into Sunday drivers. Other states are eyeing this tech like it’s the last slice of pizza at a party. Lastly, it's lights out for tech at Jesuit High School in Sacramento, which closed Monday due to a technology outage. Bet they're missing the good old chalkboards right about now!
