Israel is ranked number one in the world in computers per capita, with seven computers for every 100 people, according to the World Economic Forum's yearly report that was released Thursday.

Canada is second with 5.26 computers for every 100 people. The United Kingdom and the United States are ranked seventh and eight, respectively.

Israel was once again ranked 18th in the world in the quality of their communication networks for the fourth year in a row, which places it above the likes of Japan (19th place) and France (21st place).
