Egypt.
Indeed.
We are in the 21st century all right. The sta tement in that article that truly sticks out to me is this one:
"People should know how to use the Internet because people who download music and films are going to affect businesses who have more important things to do."
Businesses in Egypt are so tied into the Internet now, just like the rest of the world, that when there is bandwidth issues the Egyptian government steps in and requests people refrain from needless downloads to protect commerce.
The world is truly connected now.
I liked this comment as well.
Egyptian blogger The Arabist said he would "resume posting after the problem is resolved" and predicted, with a hint of sarcasm, "complete social breakdown in vast swathes of (upmarket Cairo districts) Heliopolis and Mohandiseen as thousands are unable to update their Facebook status."
heh.
