Question #1
Technologies that facilitated the regime change
1. Facebook
Facebook was created from a somewhat different thinking Harvard student. He created a social networking site to take all the hassle out of showing your friends how you spent your day. It allowed like minded protesters in Egypt to get together and consolidate ideas with out having to actually be in physical contact.

2. Google
Google was created by god-like programmers that decided to change the way people found information on the web. Using an intuitive program that quickly found information on the web allowed people to keep track on the protested.

3. Cell phones
Cell phones kept the protesters in communication for the duration of the protest with out having to use the internet. This allowed protesters to remain in contact for the whole event and coordinate their movements.
Question #2
Item one is a jacket with a hood. This would have been useful for protecting one against the elements. Since you would undoubtedly spend a large amount of time outdoors, you would need to guard yourself against the elements.
Item two is a pot lid. I don't know the exact use for one in this situation, so I can only speculate. I believe that one might have used it to protect oneself against possible thrown objects.
Item three is a pair of gloves. These are useful for keeping ones hands warm in a variety of situations and to keep your hands protected from harmful objects.
Item 4 is a spray paint can. Since this is a protest, various posters, signs and even graffiti would have been used. Since spray paint is very portable, it would have been useful to bring along.
Item 5 is a rose. Once again I have no idea what the exact use is, so I will speculate. I believe that the rose had a symbolism of some sort and that when people were walking by, the protesters would give said rose to them in some fashion.
Item 6 is a trash bag. I believe that it would be used to either carry ones belongings or to gather waste during the protest.
Item 7 is a pair of goggles. This was most definitely used to protect one's eyes. Whether from the sun or from protesting resistance is unknown.
