2011 arab spring. first "digital revolution". egypt dictator turns off internet for 5 days. egyptian people distribute pamphlets via fax and use international phone calls for dial-up modem internet.

2014 umbrella movement in hong kong. digital surveillance and artificial network interruptions. everyone has smart phones.
