Regarding the Egypt and the Middle East situation:

People were organising and protesting in large numbers around the world long 
before the Internet and social media came to fruition.   The Internet certainly 
is helpful in these situations for a variety of reasons, but it is not 
responsible or necessarily *essential* for such events to take place, even in 
the modern day.  Therefore, please stop fawning over the Internet and the 
social media "angle" of this story.  (And you wonder why I consider you 
'entertainment' as opposed to 'news' nowdays?)
