      But even though social media and the Internet did not cause the Arab Spring and the  fall of President Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, they clearly defined how and when these  protests took place, and are thus of direct interest to this article. CMC creates a space  between the public and private spheres that was clearly little understood by the  authorities in these case studies. Technology allowed people to share not simply  information about how and when to protest, but more importantly, to share images  and videos that contributed to a different interpretation of events than that which the  authorities themselves wished.

      . On January 25, 2011, Egyptians took to the streets in  Cairo, Alexandria, and some other places in the so called Day of Revolt, concentrating their  grievances on legal and political matters. Rather than a typical small protest, the Day of Revolt  exploded into a monumental moment in Egypt's history because of social media. Social media  did not cause Egypt's revolution; however, it accelerated the movement. Viral videos, such as  Asmaa Mahfouz's, and the suicide of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia created a surge of emotion in  Egyptians, persuading them to protest.  Egyptian protestors used Facebook and Twitter to get people out on the streets within the  country and YouTube to let the world know what was happening. By using tools that the regime  underestimated, activists were able to spread hope, not only to Egyptians, but also worldwide,  encouraging other repressed populations to attempt something similar in their countries.  Because of the protests, President Mubarak stepped down and turned his power over to the  Supreme Council of the Armed Forces; however, at the time of publication, protests continue in  an effort to speed the process of what many Egyptians see as extinguishing the last remnants  of the old regime. Without social media allowing Egyptians to communicate with the outside  world, the government would have been able to quickly suppress the protests.

      Role of Social Media in the Revolution Philip Howard (2011) quoted an activist in Cairo as saying, "We use Facebook to schedule the  protests, Twitter to coordinate, and YouTube to tell the world." This statement sums up the  use of social media in the protest. Newsweek.com offers a collection of videos that are posted  chronologically: http://www.newsweek.com/2011/01/28/youtube-captures-scenes-from-egypt-protests.html.  Newsweek calls it the Facebook Revolt; in fact, it could also be called the Twitter Revolution, the  first of its kind. However, not everyone agrees with the Facebook Revolution concept. Malcom  Gladwell believes that the influence of social media is limited, and the revolutions would have  happened anyway: "I mean, in cases where there are no tools of communication, people still get  together. So I don't see that as being… in looking at history, I don't see the absence of efficient  tools of communication as being a limiting factor on the ability of people to socially organize"  (Ingram, 2011).

      This article explains the difference between morals and ethics. It is very interesting how close the two are in definition and how one is often mistaken for the other.
