Isn’t Italy a place of contrast? After the country’s judiciary slammed Google for failing to keep a tight enough leash on user-uploaded content, we’re now hearing that its local version of Wired magazine is putting forward the internet as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of its contributions to “helping advance dialogue, debate and consensus.” Right then. Just in case you think this is all a bit silly — and you should — we’re also hearing Nicholas Negroponte and 2003 Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi are both in support of the idea, which has been described as “a Nobel for each and every one of us” by Internet for Peace, an organization set up specifically to promote the web’s candidacy

Since it was first created 40 years ago , the internet has had a huge impact on the world: it’s helped connect millions of people around the globe, reshaped industries and changed the way many of us live and work. But should the internet win the Nobel Peace Prize? I’ve just noticed this report suggesting that the net is one of the contenders for next year’s prize, along with some other gambles.
