Cairo Turn Around

I am kind of late with the events happening in Cairo but it is better late then never. So these Egyptians are a creative bunch. This rioting bunch has really shown that the people of today are living a digitally run society. So the people of Cairo are protesting their president,who has been in office for 30 years. That is crazy.

So the crazy part that gets me is that the protest was organized over the Internet.  When their Internet connection was cut off the population was able to use different Google features to send tweets over the phone.
The fact that they were able to connect through the Internet shows great possibilities for many people around the world.The rioting has been going on for about three weeks but today he decided to step down. I personally do not know anyone form Cairo but I am glad! I would not think that I would be able to take having the same president in office for 30 years. It is better for the people that the military is there but what happens next?
