...efficient, sustainable tomorrow, today. Green architecture gets star placement, and eco-design gurus like William MacDonough talk about the need to create "cradle-to-cradle" products that can be recycled, or reincarnated, over and over. It might be a conscious choice, and a good one, to appeal to the tech-loving young. Surely if the magnificent human mind can create something as wondrous as the iPhone, we can design a way to live without killing the Earth...

Determined to show Vietnam's tech-savvy youth a suave and forward-looking image of the ruling Communist Party, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has shown remarkable enthusiasm for the Internet.

Internet access in Vietnam is growing more than 10 times faster than the rate in China...
...Israel's fighting officers came from agricultural communes, known as kibbutzim, and from villages. Over the past 15 years or so, kibbutz members have traded socialism for the materialistic individualism so prevalent in Israeli society. Nowadays, dynamic Israeli youngsters want to cash in on the country's high-tech boom and not spend their lives in uniform. The pool of potential recruits is also shrinking for other reasons: 11% of the nation's men are ultra-orthodox and excused from military service, 4% of draft-age Israelis have moved abroad, 5% are rejected for physical reasons and an estimated...
