No-one should be surprised at the movement in Egypt! I would say all the world's governments should be aware that through technology the new generation can share information and all want to live in freedom.
It's a different world from our parents! I remember when we had one phone for an entire city! Today information is instant and everyone wants to share in the changes (positive) effecting society.
The basics will be demanded from the government, such as freedom, healthcare, running water, etc. I put these in the same categories because in some places it needs to move that fast, yes running water to having the latest in technologies.
This will be a struggle for some nations, but if the government represents the people, together they can define the challenges and work toward achieving them.
Not addressing basic to more advanced needs will cause people to rebel as we see in the Arab countries.
So this should not come as a surprise to African nations, Arab nation's or any other nation keeping a blind eye toward what people need and will demand as technology advances around the world!
