In the 20th century, I think this person is right. But hold on! This is the Facebook 21st century! Not so fast……. What strikes me most strongly is that this Tunisnian, now Egyptian event is part a bigger grander major shift on the global political techtonics. This Facebook generation of Eqyptians are nothing like the past. They speak and quote Martin Luther King and seek American style freedom and liberty.

The oppressive Mubarkek has committed a cyber-mortal sin in trying to cut people off from what has become their personal lives. Facebook and Twitter have become personal extensions of the 21st century citizen.

Large parts of the Internet essentially went dark about midnight Egypt time after the government of President Hosni Mubarak, a longtime ally of Washington, ordered service providers and cell phone companies to shut down. “Under Egyptian legislation the authorities have the right to issue such an order and we are obliged to comply with it,” Vodafone, one of the largest cell phone carriers, in Egypt, said in a statement.
