Reading newspapers on SubwayI have a horrible confession to make. I broke up with my ex-boyfriend because he complained that I used my phone too much.

So strong was my attachment to this small, yet infinitely connected 5-inch device, that in the choice between him and it, well... I chose 'it'. But I think that says more about society than it does about me.

Tel Aviv by Gabriel:FlickrSometimes, good things come in small packages. With only eight million residents, Israel's entire population is roughly the same as London and a tenth of Germany. Yet, despite its size, Israel has already established itself as a leader in ad tech and is often credited with having the second Silicon Valley. Owing to a combination of geography, culture, and innovative minds, this nation has been able to pull well above its weight in the global tech scene.
