Learning how facebook started a revolution. Kinda
Today we watched a video on the protests and marches in Egypt for the revolution. We learned a lot about how Facebook and Twitter helped start the revolution by spreading word about marches, and protests and why people should go. We saw how the police were brutal to people who opposed the government and the people wanted to change that. They did marches on police day which was ironic and another one to the presidential palace called the day of rage referring to how they were mad over the polices brutality. The group who started the revolution on facebook is called the April 6th group. One of their memebers was arrested by police at one point. I finished watching the video at home tonight. Tomorrow we are talking to a person who was part of the revlution in Egypt, via skype.
