Abstract
Reading the impacts of the Arab Spring as a shift from virtual space to physical space may be considered as one proper approach to deal with the slowness versus fastness issue. However, the complexity of changing identities in today's global world puts more shadows on how to understand ourselves and how to rethink people's primitive loyalties towards their state and society. Undoubtedly, this rethinking is affected by new patterns of human interactions; both universally and even locally. The huge technological revolution generates new types of cultural evolution based on interchange of ideas among people with different cultures, different social backgrounds and different value systems This paper puts the Egyptian revolution in perspective in terms of being the central unit of analysis. In doing so, a constructed theoretical framework that deals with the concept of public sphere and its statements about the revolutionary phenomenon will be employed to serve the purpose of the paper.
