Egypt is cutting off soocial media access in their country. This just show how powerful the social media tool is in our world. Could this mean a possible cut off of social media sites like facebook and twitter? If so this will damage our way of communicating to the world. This cutting off of social media could really happen in the United States.
The National Asset Act is an act designed to protect us from any cyber prohibitions. Also this protects us from any potential cyber attacks. This could be a United States kill internet switch. So, this is not just affecting Egypt and surrounding countries, this also affects the United States as well.
Here I have added a video that is describing this whole internet shutdown situation.
This internet shutdown in Egypt could be very extensive. But people want the leader of Egypt gone now.

I am very concerned about this uprising, because I heard of from my teacher that this movement has influenced the economy in Egypt, the protester have destroy the museum that contain thousands of years' history and so on. It can be bad thing for human to develop culture. Thus, I think that people have the power to fight against government. And government should listen to the people's voice
