I think it's absolutely fantastic that you were also in Cairo during the Arab Spring- My question: what do you make of new technologies and their importance to these uprisings? Do you think there is a point at which Twitter and Facebook are more than just a new element to societal change, that in fact the ability to spread images and ideas and coordinate real life activities has enabled these revolutions. tl;dr Would there have been an Arab Spring or Ukrainian revolution without social media?
