We are playing with different cards this time around. The information revolution is what directly led to what they are terming the "Facebook Revolution" in Egypt. You'd have to be delusional to think things are going to same way as always. The regime change in Egypt took ~10 days! That is unprecedented. Only time will tell how it all turns out, but we are in uncharted territory for sure.

Again and I can't stress this enough. As much as you believe technology will save the human race the odds are distinctly against that for one very very important reason. Human psychology and emotions. They have not altered in known human history with it's preponderance of wars and strife. Just because it's all happening faster doesn't mean the outcome is going to be any different.
Youthful folly, you'll see. I promise. That's how sure I am.
If real change were to come to the human landscape I would look for it in millions of years in the future. Evolution takes time.

We can't even begin to imagine the technology we are going to have 10 years from now. Could have Icelander in 1990 imagined the world of today?
Be open to possibilities of change. Don't write off the youth generation who has lived their lives on the internet. The world is getting smaller and it's getting harder for the power structures to push nationalism and other dividers on the human race. There is a trend emerging. The question is, "Will it take hold in time?"

The same could be said for anytime in history. Could my great great great grandparents have imagined a world with telephones and cars and planes and TV etc. Yet that did not usher in any new world of peace and harmony. I'm going to say it again in hopes your mind and ears can open to the fact that human psychology has not changed and that change has to occur before peace wIll ever be a real prospect. The internet is mostly used for business and porn and mindless entertainment and for most people is nothing more than a fancy TV. Check out the political forum and then remind yourself that this is the Shroomery.
There is no trend emerging and there is more strife and war than ever due to dwindling resources and more population. It's going to get worse not better until something decreases the human population and along with that some of the folly.
You'll see, I promise. I have thousands of years of history and precedence behind me and you have only vague hopes based on your very justifiable fears.

The money is running out. It never was real to begin with. The common American is not willing to lower his standard of living - There is going to be a lot more "protests" in the coming year.

and I won't be among them. Americans are spoiled sick and have no skills at managing their material lives. It serves them more than right.

im not interested in history, but in future... as it is said, no one want to decrees his standard of living, no matter if it is poor management of money or whatever.. beside im asking these question not because i know but because i dont know.. and im not asking for history lesson but for an answer. and either way IMo, this is not about the cause but about the effect. whether you think they are corrupt or not, they are on the street and that will have some effect for sure.
