First I’d like to start this blog post by saying I had NO idea the power that cell phone users hold! My goodness! Taking down President Joseph Estrada of the Philippines simply volleying sms messages to create a peaceful protest. Thats amazing!!! Also I think that American citizens should take a page out of Britain’s book, their idea to protest against high gas prices is A LOT better than America’s facebook events to “don’t buy gas for one day.” Yipee! that didn’t do much! Although their way seems a little more extreme, at least they got their message across.

Overall, technology advances in communication has been amazing. I can’t even imagine how many lives were saved by citizens choosing to protest in a non-violent fashion. We have become more civilized every year and I love being in a society where that is possible!
