0:00:02 > 0:00:04# Hey mambo, mambo italiano... #
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Welcome to Click. I'm Spencer Kelly.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Apologies for the dancing.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25I promise all will be explained later.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27You see, this week, we're in Israel.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29It is a really hi-tech place.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Although admittedly, it's not really the home of the mambo.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37This week, we'll get hands-on with some kit and we'll meet the people
0:00:37 > 0:00:40who make Israel's technology among the best in the world.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42From medicine to security,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45from education to transportation.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49And, yes, there will be a flying robot ambulance.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54And we also have the very best of the web, in Webscape.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Israel's come a long way since the oranges.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Its main export used to be shipped around the world
0:01:06 > 0:01:08from the port of the ancient city of Jaffa.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12But since then, it's seen many innovations, including -
0:01:12 > 0:01:15would you believe? - the very first USB memory stick.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Jerusalem-based Mobileye makes the technology inside
0:01:22 > 0:01:25some of the self-driving cars that we've already seen on Click.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Right now, take my hands off the wheel. OK. Right now.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Right...now.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36'Well, I had to give it a go myself, didn't I?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39'Mobileye is now working on a system which will use
0:01:39 > 0:01:42'just one camera and will be able to identify and respond
0:01:42 > 0:01:44'to road signs and traffic lights,
0:01:44 > 0:01:48'as well as other traffic and pedestrians.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51'This is the first time that we've seen an autonomous car
0:01:51 > 0:01:55'which can handle itself at a junction.'
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Israel is packed with start-ups and incubators.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01In fact, it calls itself the start-up nation.
0:02:01 > 0:02:07It has a higher concentration of research and development centres
0:02:07 > 0:02:10and start-ups per capita than any other place on Earth.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14It has more start-ups on the NASDAQ stock exchange
0:02:14 > 0:02:17than Europe and India combined.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24One of the reasons it is so hi-tech is the fact that all Israelis
0:02:24 > 0:02:25have to do military service,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28and plenty of innovation comes from the military.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Once the sole possession of special forces,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33nowadays, it's all within our reach.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35One company that takes military tech
0:02:35 > 0:02:39and translates it into commercial applications is Opgal.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42It's just launched Therm-App.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47This is a thermal-imaging device and it's the first one in the world
0:02:47 > 0:02:51that turns an android smartphone into a thermal-imaging camera.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Hi, there. It's useful for anyone who wants to see in the dark
0:02:55 > 0:02:57or, more interestingly, anyone who needs to know about
0:02:57 > 0:03:00the temperature of their surroundings.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Look at my handprint on the wall. Guilty as charged.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08So, for example, a faulty electrical circuit
0:03:08 > 0:03:10would appear too warm,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12a leak in your ceiling would appear an unusual temperature,
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and you could even use this to diagnose inflammation
0:03:15 > 0:03:19or even tumours, because they appear warmer than normal.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Now onto something else with military connections.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25A few years ago, we came to Israel to see a flying car.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Yes, a flying car.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Jen Copestake has been to see the latest innovation
0:03:30 > 0:03:32from Tactical Robotics.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Moving casualties from remote battlefields
0:03:39 > 0:03:42is an extremely dangerous job for a helicopter pilot.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47The landing takes skill and the mission can come under enemy fire.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Tactical Robotics hopes to make the job easier with this, the AirMule,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53a prototype ambulance drone.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57On our visit, these drones are firmly on the ground,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01but the AirMule has flown over 350 test flights.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Over the last 12 years of development, millions of dollars
0:04:09 > 0:04:12have been invested into getting the AirMule off the ground.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17The project is being partially funded by Israel's Ministry of Defence.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21What makes this one-tonne vehicle unique is its internal rotors,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25two rotors taking the place of a helicopter's large external one.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28It's controlled by 200 directional air flaps.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35Its top air speed is around 120 knots, which is about 140mph,
0:04:35 > 0:04:40and it can reach an altitude of 12,000ft.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43The first mission of the AirMule is to pick up injured personnel
0:04:43 > 0:04:45from the battlefield.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50One cargo bay can fit somebody who's 2m 10 and weighs up to 250kg.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53But it still looks a bit of a tight squeeze.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Using both bays, the AirMule can also be used for cargo transportation.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04500 kilos can be carried to bring supplies to remote combat zones.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07The Department of Homeland Security in America is looking at the AirMule
0:05:07 > 0:05:12as a way to help secure an urban metropolitan area after a dirty bomb.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14It could negotiate narrow or blocked streets
0:05:14 > 0:05:17and carry a decontaminating material.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Imagine this aircraft with two robotic arms,
0:05:20 > 0:05:24piloted by a remote pilot through cameras
0:05:24 > 0:05:28and actually getting into the door of a Fukushima
0:05:28 > 0:05:35or a Chernobyl kind of scenario, where nobody would like to go in.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37And not just taking pictures of what's happening,
0:05:37 > 0:05:41but actually bringing hundreds of litres of water,
0:05:41 > 0:05:46or fixing a leak, or doing some work for hours.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51A second prototype is being built and will be flown later this year.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53If necessary funding is secured,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55the AirMule could be in the skies in five years.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02Jen Copestake. And how cool was that flying ambulance? My word!
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Now to something much smaller, but just as important.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10The major cause of cancer death amongst women
0:06:10 > 0:06:13in low-income countries is cervical cancer.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17The thing is, if it's caught early enough, it is easy to detect
0:06:17 > 0:06:20and it costs very little to treat. But, of course, the medical kit
0:06:20 > 0:06:24and the expertise is not that easy to come by.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Well, perhaps until now.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Meet MobileOCT. The OCT stands for
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Optical Coherence Tomography,
0:06:33 > 0:06:38and this is a 400 hand-held device being developed here in Tel Aviv.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40It analyses potential tumours.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43The important thing to notice is the part which takes the pictures
0:06:43 > 0:06:46of the skin is just a normal smartphone.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Add a big lens, a handle and a couple of lights
0:06:49 > 0:06:52and you've got something that images suspect areas,
0:06:52 > 0:06:54plus the blood supply to that area,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57something that's detected by adding the green light.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Cervical cancer is the number one cause of cancer death for women
0:06:59 > 0:07:02of low resource settings, but it's the easiest cancer to treat
0:07:02 > 0:07:05if you catch it in the first five years. Community health workers
0:07:05 > 0:07:08can pick it up and start imaging right away.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Because the device is built on a phone, you send the images
0:07:11 > 0:07:13up and down to the cloud, which enables them to receive
0:07:13 > 0:07:17peer mentorship from their peers, as well as expert mentorship
0:07:17 > 0:07:19from gynaecologists and oncologists worldwide.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22So that no matter where you are, no matter what your training,
0:07:22 > 0:07:23you can screen for cancer.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Now, the case is 3-D printed.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28That means you don't have to ship them in.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31You just print one wherever you need it.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Our mission is to enable anyone who has access to a mobile phone
0:07:33 > 0:07:36the ability to save their lives and the lives of the people they love.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39The best way to do that is to make the hardware open source.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43So, until now, we've printed everything using 3D printers
0:07:43 > 0:07:46and what we want to do is to enable any person
0:07:46 > 0:07:48anywhere in the world to be able to create their own devices
0:07:48 > 0:07:52and, in doing so, screen those people they'd like to save the lives of.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55OK. We'll return to Israel in a couple of minutes.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56First, a look at the big stories
0:07:56 > 0:07:58that have been hitting the tech wires this week.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Google's joining the auto-auto market, showing off a prototype
0:08:04 > 0:08:07without a steering wheel, gear stick or pedals.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Controlled via the smartphone
0:08:09 > 0:08:10and a single stop-go button,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12the electric car uses
0:08:12 > 0:08:13a combination of cameras,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16laser and radar sensors to navigate
0:08:16 > 0:08:19and it will initially be limited to a top speed of 25mph
0:08:19 > 0:08:21to help ensure safety.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23The first batch of 200
0:08:23 > 0:08:25should hit the Tarmac within the year.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29A prolific hacker who faced
0:08:29 > 0:08:31more than 26 years in prison
0:08:31 > 0:08:34has been handed a year's supervision sentence after swapping sides
0:08:34 > 0:08:38and helping the FBI catch some of those he once teamed up with.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Hector Xavier Monsegur,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43known by his online pseudonym "Sabu",
0:08:43 > 0:08:44was one of the core members
0:08:44 > 0:08:46of hacking group LulzSec.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50The group launched a spate of high-profile online attacks in 2011.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Korean tech giant LG
0:08:53 > 0:08:55has entered the smartwatch fray.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Its G Watch runs a version of Google's android operating system,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01with some of the functionality of a smartphone.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Its touch-screen will be able to deliver things like weather forecast,
0:09:05 > 0:09:06text or e-mail alerts.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10LG's also announced its flagship G3 smartphone,
0:09:10 > 0:09:12boasting some of the best specs on the market,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14including a quad-core processor,
0:09:14 > 0:09:173GB of RAM and a 5.5-inch high-res screen.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Valve's own version of the Steam Machine has been delayed
0:09:21 > 0:09:24until 2015. The living room PC in a box concept
0:09:24 > 0:09:28will eventually see Valve partnering with a host of PC manufacturers
0:09:28 > 0:09:31to roll out gaming-focused computers.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34The unusual touch-sensitive controller is causing the problems,
0:09:34 > 0:09:39although it's not clear whether other outfits will also be delayed
0:09:39 > 0:09:41with their versions of the long-awaited Steam Machine platform.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Did you know that you can be identified
0:09:49 > 0:09:52simply from the way you walk?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55It's one aspect of something called biometrics,
0:09:55 > 0:09:59which are the things about you which are unique to you.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Fingerprints, iris patterns and so on.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06And it turns out that Israel is making great strides in biometrics,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08if you pardon the pun.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13David Reid has been finding out why here, YOU could be the key.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Around five years ago, something big happened.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22For the first time in history, the number of us living in cities
0:10:22 > 0:10:24exceeded those who don't.
0:10:25 > 0:10:293.5 billion of us are squeezing through the same doors.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Our security systems have to cope with letting people in,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36keeping intruders out, while avoiding bottlenecks.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41One way is biometrics.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Shalom.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46FS21, in Tel Aviv, has developed this digital doorman.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49It matches up faces with body sizes,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52greeting those it recognises with a polite "shalom",
0:10:52 > 0:10:56but locking out those it doesn't know.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01Actually, the identification of the system is on the visual side,
0:11:01 > 0:11:05not taking only the faces, but taking the whole body.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09As the body is part of the human, we're actually looking at the body
0:11:09 > 0:11:11and looking at the body size.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13"Is it the same body size that the same face had yesterday?"
0:11:13 > 0:11:16And that's what the system does, trying to imitate
0:11:16 > 0:11:19the way the human guard would identify people.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25This is great if you have the cooperation and biometrics
0:11:25 > 0:11:27of those you want to ID.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32Gathering them among the wider public can be difficult.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33The problem with biometrics is that
0:11:33 > 0:11:35it can feel really intrusive.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Giving over your fingerprints and having your iris scanned,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40you can end up feeling like a criminal
0:11:40 > 0:11:42and no-one wants to feel like that.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46It's why a number of companies here in Tel Aviv are developing systems
0:11:46 > 0:11:50based on something as unique as your biometrics -
0:11:50 > 0:11:52the way we behave.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56You are unique. The way you walk,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58the way you talk, the way you do this.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03And for that matter, the way you dance.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07To go from dance games to security systems
0:12:07 > 0:12:10might not be as daft as it seems.
0:12:11 > 0:12:17Extreme Reality's dance game tracks if your moves match the dance.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Programme into the system the unique way someone, a suspect, say,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24walks, you can find a match.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Taking the real-world scenario,
0:12:26 > 0:12:27like you want to find a suspect
0:12:27 > 0:12:30after some event has happened - there was a terrorist event,
0:12:30 > 0:12:31you know where the suspect is -
0:12:31 > 0:12:34we will be able to run multiple videos simultaneously
0:12:34 > 0:12:38and provide you with a number of suspects that are similar
0:12:38 > 0:12:42to this terrorist that you have found in one of the videos.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48The way we behave in the online world is also unique.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51BioCatch picks up on the idiosyncratic way
0:12:51 > 0:12:54each of us interacts with a computer or tablet
0:12:54 > 0:12:58to identify us for banking transactions.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01You drag the green piece until it hits the red.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04'I gave it a go. Unknown to me, the tablet's cursor
0:13:04 > 0:13:06'is dragging ever so slightly.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11'The way I compensate for that creates a unique pattern.'
0:13:11 > 0:13:13..A little bit to the left and you compensated
0:13:13 > 0:13:15by going a little bit to the right.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16That's my pattern.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19That's very obviously someone else's.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Again, I curl in slowly.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Another person jags back sharply.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27The idea is for this to replace the array of security measures
0:13:27 > 0:13:31that have simply become annoying.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32We talk about secret questions.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36There are text messages with one-time codes that are being sent.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39There are all sorts of physical tokens that you have to carry.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44And the point is that all of this is circumvented today by fraudsters.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47They know how to breach these sorts of defences
0:13:47 > 0:13:51while the real user is just bothered by additional security all the time.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55So, that's essentially what BioCatch is trying to solve.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58How do you actually increase the security by authenticating
0:13:58 > 0:14:02the user's behaviour, responses, cognitive choices,
0:14:02 > 0:14:05their subconscious interaction with the application
0:14:05 > 0:14:09and, at the same time, reduce that unnecessary friction?
0:14:11 > 0:14:16So, this could be the birth of truly smart security technology
0:14:16 > 0:14:21that no longer requires us to learn pesky passwords to ID ourselves,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24but instead learns about us.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35'Innovation starts at an early age in Israel.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38'The students here at the IDC Herzliya Media Innovation Lab
0:14:38 > 0:14:42'are developing ideas to help people with disabilities.'
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- Left foot...- First. Then when you feel stable...
0:14:44 > 0:14:47'They've created a game for small children with balance problems,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49'using a smartphone's accelerometer
0:14:49 > 0:14:52'and a wobbly standy thing.'
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Excellent... Ah. I've crashed it.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Five.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00'And for older people, how about a dance?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02'This Xbox Kinect game keeps you fit and mobile
0:15:02 > 0:15:06'by helping you to practise your moves.'
0:15:06 > 0:15:08# Hey mambo, mambo italiano... #
0:15:08 > 0:15:11'There's much more going on here and one of the professors showed
0:15:11 > 0:15:14'Jen Copestake his latest robot.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17'And it was quite an emotional experience.'
0:15:17 > 0:15:18# ..Mambo italiano... #
0:15:20 > 0:15:22It may look like just a cheap desk lamp,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25but by picking up on your emotions,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28this robot could help you become a better communicator.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31The robots were supposed to encourage people's empathy
0:15:31 > 0:15:35for each other, and through your empathy to the robot,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38it's supposed to make your behaviour to other people better.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41And the robot would be very sensitive
0:15:41 > 0:15:45and expressing the sensitivity of the relationship,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47and if people start talking to it
0:15:47 > 0:15:50in an aggressive way, it'll get scared.
0:15:52 > 0:15:58The robot is in a calm situation and it's listening to the conversation.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03The robot has three emotional states - curious, calm and scared -
0:16:03 > 0:16:06and will react depending on the volume
0:16:06 > 0:16:07and tone of conversation...
0:16:07 > 0:16:09He will get curious,
0:16:09 > 0:16:11move forward and try to listen more.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13So, we're going to try it out now.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Hey!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18'..but quickly gets scared
0:16:18 > 0:16:20'and shakes when we're angry.'
0:16:20 > 0:16:23That was pretty scary, I have to say.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26You already feel bad for scaring it.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Your whole body language is like, "Oh, no, I'm sorry."
0:16:31 > 0:16:34I think different people have different emotional needs
0:16:34 > 0:16:38and different robots could help those people
0:16:38 > 0:16:42cope with situations that might be hard for them.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44This is just one direction.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45CLANGING
0:16:45 > 0:16:49This is an industrial complex in Tel Aviv and the ground floor
0:16:49 > 0:16:51is still occupied, as you can hear,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53by traditional industry.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57The third floor has been taken over by something a lot more hi-tech.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01In fact, the companies here need units which offer them space
0:17:01 > 0:17:04to do their thinking and development, but also, to do stuff
0:17:04 > 0:17:06that's a lot more sciencey.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08You never know what you might find
0:17:08 > 0:17:10if you peer through the windows.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Gauzy makes the next generation of smart glass.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Unlike the stuff that just flicks between opaque and transparent
0:17:19 > 0:17:22when you pass an electric current through, this glass can fade
0:17:22 > 0:17:24between the two. You can also have
0:17:24 > 0:17:29several independent panels in one pane of glass.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33In theory, that should allow for more graceful-looking installations,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35whether it's a fridge you don't have to open
0:17:35 > 0:17:39to check the contents or groovy privacy screens for public places,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41or this enormous display already installed
0:17:41 > 0:17:45at the visitor centre in Shiloh.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49What's also unusual is, the flexible panel in-between the two panes
0:17:49 > 0:17:52can be one of several different shades of white or grey.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54In fact, next door,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57they're working on introducing a whole range of colours.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00And in the future, they might just be able to split the panel
0:18:00 > 0:18:02into individual pixels,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05allowing text or even graphics to be displayed.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Next up, someone else who's a massive fan of Windows...
0:18:11 > 0:18:13and Mac OS X and Linux.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15It's Kate Russell, with Webscape.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Yes, Spencer. It's true.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I've spent much of my youth gazing through windows,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24mainly playing computer games
0:18:24 > 0:18:26like Elite and Wolfenstein 3D.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Those classics didn't need
0:18:28 > 0:18:29impressive graphics
0:18:29 > 0:18:30and visual acrobatics
0:18:30 > 0:18:32to grab our attention.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34It was all about gameplay,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36and platform puzzler Nihilumbra
0:18:36 > 0:18:38has that in bucket-loads.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49You play a character born of the void
0:18:49 > 0:18:51and spend the whole game
0:18:51 > 0:18:54battling through a hostile landscape
0:18:54 > 0:18:59with the empty nothingness of nonexistence snapping at your heels.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02The artwork is simplistically stunning
0:19:02 > 0:19:05and the puzzles growing in difficulty
0:19:05 > 0:19:08as you pick up additional skills to play with.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11The darkly chilling script
0:19:11 > 0:19:13nags at you throughout
0:19:13 > 0:19:15to feel hopeless and lost.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18The demo can be played free online through your browser,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21with the full game available on lots of platforms,
0:19:21 > 0:19:22in a number of different languages.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35The ongoing craze for self-destructing selfies
0:19:35 > 0:19:39has gained another ally with Blink app released for android.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42The free messaging app was already popular on iPhone
0:19:42 > 0:19:46and lets users send text, photos, videos, sketches,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49and even voice messages to friends
0:19:49 > 0:19:51that disappear once they've been viewed.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53This genre is such a buzz right now,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56it's just been announced that
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Yahoo has snapped up Blink.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01So, who knows what the future holds for this app.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05# I really need one But first, let me take a selfie... #
0:20:05 > 0:20:08It seems like everyone is doing selfies these days.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12The word has even been enshrined in the English language,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15appearing in the Oxford Dictionary.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Another addictive habit is caffeine.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Note the seamless segue there.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24If you're more of a coffee drinker than a self-obsessed snapper,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26this next app could be for you.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31UP Coffee lets you add and track your caffeine intake
0:20:31 > 0:20:34throughout the day, keeping you informed
0:20:34 > 0:20:38about how it might impact your sleep.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41# I drink 40 cups of coffee... #
0:20:41 > 0:20:44If you have the UP band, you can link the apps together
0:20:44 > 0:20:47to get additional data and correlations
0:20:47 > 0:20:49about sleep patterns over time.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Music lovers who like to impress
0:21:00 > 0:21:02at the pub quiz should bookmark
0:21:02 > 0:21:07Google's Music Timeline, which tracks the popularity of musical genres
0:21:07 > 0:21:10dating back all the way to 1950.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14# I like that old time rock 'n' roll... #
0:21:14 > 0:21:18This is 64 years of musical history,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21although classical music has been omitted
0:21:21 > 0:21:23because it's catalogued differently from other genres,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27using composition date rather than recording date to determine
0:21:27 > 0:21:29where it sits in a timeline.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32# ..Still like that old time rock 'n' roll... #
0:21:32 > 0:21:34You can explore by genre,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37with artists and albums all a click away to view.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39And, of course, you can click through to purchase them
0:21:39 > 0:21:42from Google's music store too.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45# ..Still like that old-time rock 'n' roll... #
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Codeacademy has been teaching people to code
0:21:51 > 0:21:56with free and easy-to-follow online lessons since 2011.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Until now, the only language available was English.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03But last week, the academy started rolling out
0:22:03 > 0:22:05a global initiative to translate
0:22:05 > 0:22:07the lessons into other languages.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Portuguese, French and Spanish translations are already completed,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13with more in the works for the months ahead.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Kate Russell's Webscape.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Just before we leave Israel, I have to introduce you
0:22:24 > 0:22:27to the company which is reinventing the wheel.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Now, if you use a wheelchair, you'll know what a bumpy
0:22:29 > 0:22:31and uncomfortable ride coming down steps is.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35And if you build a suspension system into the chair, it fights you
0:22:35 > 0:22:36as you're rolling along flat surfaces,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38which obviously isn't ideal.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Well, this man is using a chair fitted with two SoftWheels,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44and this is what he can do.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48It's basically an in-wheel suspension system,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51but it's only used when it's needed, which means it doesn't fight you
0:22:51 > 0:22:53when you roll along the flat.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Actually, this thing could be fitted to, well,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58pretty much anything that has a wheel.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Now, that's it from Israel.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Next week, though, we'll be in the West Bank to check out
0:23:03 > 0:23:06the Palestinian tech scene. Can't wait for that.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09For more from us, check out our website...
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Thank you very much for watching and we'll see you next time.
