Giza Pyramids- Cairo |
Could King Tut ever have dreamed of the current events in Egypt? Of course not. But for that matter could Mark Zuckerberg have ever imagined that his social network would, in just a few years, become a forum for revolutions and the venue for tendering resignations of leaders? The previously unimaginable happened earlier today when the resignation of the Egyptian interim prime minister was announced on a Facebook page- that's what the NY Times stated in its report of the event.
The Pyramids at Giza are ancient structures dating from thousands of years ago. Yet a few miles away (the pyramids are at the edge of Cairo, not miles away in a remote desert), a revolution that has changed the Arab world was begun in the most high-tech way. It's really odd the way things happen.
