Internet Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

Posted March 11th, 2010 by BfA Staff

There is some online buzz today following reports that the Internet has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. It’s the first time that a non-person or organization entity has been seriously considered for the international award. More from Mashable:

Championed by Wired magazine in Italy, the nomination has been backed by OLPC founder Nicholas Negroponte. Italian Wired suggests that the Internet should receive the highly regarded prize for helping to advance “dialogue, debate and consensus.”
