When Iran got the telegraph in the early 1900's it helped trigger the first constitutional revolution against the despotic Qajar regime. When telephones and tape cassettes spread around Iran in the 1970's, they became tools through which Ayatollah Khomeini (Muslim religiuos and political leader, 1902-89) spread his revolution against the Shah (Monarch of Iran, born Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, 1919-80). Today the Internet and satellite TV have come to Iran, bringing with them new appetites and aspirations for Iran's Third Generation.

- Thomas L. Friedman (American journalist, born 1953)
