| 0:00.0 | Today is Saturday, December 14th. It's that time to reflect on the year that was and look ahead at what to |
| 0:06.0 | expect next. And today, we're doing exactly that for tech. We're specifically going to talk about |
| 0:11.1 | the 10 biggest technology-related stories of 2024. We've covered them all during our daily round-ups |
| 0:16.9 | right here on The Newsworthy, but not as in-depth as Brian McCola has. He's the host of the |

| 1:21.8 | Jump in with one of them. |
| 1:23.8 | Let's start with the Apple Vision Pro. |
