I sat at my computer this morning, watching the live feed from Cairo's central square. Almost like being there - except I had not put my life at risk, as did the 300 or so people who died in the course of an event no one imagined possible.
What comes next? Will it be temporary military rule - while the constitution is re-written and elections are held that are not rigged? Or are thousand of protesters only at the beginning of a long journey.
Autocratic rulers do not give up their powers easily - nor do they rule alone. To know how rare freedom really is, one only needs to trace the regimes on a world map where dissent is not allowed. But this revolution is different than any other in the history of humanity. Technology-driven, the face of a new world is being born.
