The article by Curt Hopkins (Dial-Up Provides Internet Access for Cut-Off Egypt) reminds me how lucky we are to live in the United States. Also, it reminds me how powerful the Internet can be. Over 90 percent of Egypt’s Internet access has been shut down. If that happened in the United States I would be lost. I am in some shape or form connected to the Internet for a majority of my day. The Egyptian government deems the Internet so powerful that they decided to cut it off to hurt the civilians. It is amazing to witness the resolve of the Egyptian people, and that we may be witnessing over the news a revolution taking place. Who knows how this will end, but it definitely has my attention.
