long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 2025, as
Technology Month in the State of New York, in conjunction with the
observance of National Technology Month; and

WHEREAS, National Technology Day on January 6th, honors
technological achievements that impact all Americans and New Yorkers
each and every day; and

WHEREAS, Technology keeps us organized, connected, healthy, and
safe; it also improves productivity and gives us insight into how the
world works; and

agriculture, healthcare, education, entertainment, foodservice and
security, truly making the world go around; and

affect our lives are applications or apps, and communications; today, we
keep in touch with family, attend school, speak to our doctors, and
conduct business through video meetings; and

with people all across the globe; and

WHEREAS, Technology continues to change the way we live and drive us
further into the world of the future and we are grateful for those
individuals who work in this trailblazing field; now, therefore, be it
