After reading the article "Social Media's Role in the Egyptian Protests" I would like to point out one of the most important topics involved. That technology has expanded to the point of no return. In earlier times, people could get away with choosing to stay out of the world's business and activity, focusing mainly on their own personal lives. For the better, or for the worse, technology has become a part of our lives; letting us into places located much farther then our backyard.
Mentioned in the article, technology, especially the internet, has given the public a voice. A voice much easier shared at just the click of a button. With the different types of technology at our fingertips, people no longer feel helpless as they see events such as the Egyptian protests taking place, which in my opinion is beneficial to everyone everywhere. By being able to know what's going on in the world opinions are coming into view more and more. We are able to do something, share how we feel and become involved.
As our world grows, technology follows, reflecting each other over and over again. Although the internet and such technology has a huge part in getting information out there, it is ultimately the people who do the same first.
