Isn't it amazing how we can be convinced (sold) on the wonders of technology. I am specifically referring to CNN'S love-affair with Twitter (the "Twitter Revolution" and how it will save the world and put a pork-pie in everyone's oven- apologies to Muslims). Twitter won't save Iran- Iranians willl save Iran....or not. Twitter is a tool and nothing more. "It" does not make for a revolution...."it" is technology and nothing more. People should take a minute....take a deep breath and maybe just unplug. Unplugging would be revolutionary.
