... but look out! Canada's comin' to getcha! Denmark has the most successful branding this time around, but signs point to Canada basically ruling the tech world, according to certain sources. Whilst Denmark demonstrates a "readiness [...] to [...] benefit from developments in information technology", Canada is busy actually developing it!

Denmark is now the world's most tech-savvy country, according to a new report from the World Economic Forum. It's the first time the Scandinavian country has topped the list. Denmark--the land that brought you Legos--knocked out the United States, which fell from first last year to seventh this year, behind Sweden, Singapore, Finland, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Iceland, the United Kingdom and Norway round out the top 10.

The report uses a "Networked Readiness Index" to measure the readiness of a nation or community to participate in and benefit from developments in information technology.

Not that I'm disrespecting Denmark or anything.
