What would you think? The Italian version of the Wired magazine was 1st to propose Internet as a candidature, hear more on their arguments on www.digitallunch.blogspot.com. Are these arguments strong enough to support an inanimated medium of millions online users against singular human beings?

Internet has embraced humanity in a bond that was never possible earlier. It has broken barriers of distance,time-zones, nationalities and languages. It has the richest credentials for the honour.

Also since the evolution of internet is multi chromatic and has involved thousands of innovators who have continuously contributed to its evolution, I think it was just to nominate this 'revolution'. I think its a tribute to all those who have contributed wire up the world as it is today. @SushJ I don’t think so….I think the award signifies contribution more than anything else.

But I guess it is still an inanimate thing which has no feelings. Nobel should be given to someone and not to something. I mean by that analogy you can give this prize to cellphones or airplanes or even TV. Alfred Nobel who constituted these awards would have disapproved.
