In 1989, Israeli entrepreneur and inventor Dov Moran founded M-Systems. The company pioneered the field of flash storage and contributed to the creation of USB flash drives (known as Disk on Key), flash disks (Disk on Chip), and various flash storage devices. However, in 2006, M-Systems was acquired by an American company.
3. Electro-optical Sensors

Almost all modern gadgets, such as smartwatches and smartphones, are equipped with a technology known as Electro Optical Sensor. This technology can detect the user's heartbeat through touching the skin.
The information obtained by the sensor is then displayed on the device's screen, allowing the user to know the condition of their heartbeat.
For example, if the heart rate is too fast, the user can decide to take a short break. In other words, the Electro Optic Sensor serves as our health monitor. This innovative technology also comes from Israel.
4. Memory Stick

The evolution of memory sticks has undergone rapid development. In the past, the size was quite large but the capacity was limited. Now, although the dimensions are getting more compact, the storage capacity is getting bigger.
The existence of memory sticks in everyday life facilitates various activities, especially in terms of portable data storage. If there were no memory sticks, we would still rely on diskettes or disks, which are cumbersome. Their large size, limited capacity, and susceptibility to damage make them less efficient than memory sticks.
5. Intel

Intel and AMD are two giants in the computer processor industry. However, based on sales data and number of users, Intel seems to have a significant advantage over AMD.
One of Intel's strengths is its consistent performance and resistance to heat, making it a more durable processor.
In five years, Intel has shown rapid growth with frequent updates to their processor line. Besides focusing on processors, Intel is also innovating in various cutting-edge technologies.
One of them is facial recognition technology, which allows computers to identify a user's face, and this technology has wide potential applications in various fields.
6. Network Components
The Internet seems to be a new world where we can find various information, including job opportunities and even friendships.
However, to access this world, we need a 'bridge', which is the network component. Without this component, access to the digital world will be hampered.
Network components are not only important for internet connectivity, but also facilitate various activities that require connectivity, such as data sharing.This component is crucial. And, like the previous innovations, this technology was also developed in Israel.
These inventions from Israel show how innovations from one country can influence and benefit the entire world. The technologies created by Israel have also benefited the Indonesians to this day.
