If the internet were to win, shouldn't Tim Berners-Lee accept the award since he founded the World Wide Web?

I'm with Rahsheen. It's a tool. A great tool and genius. But who would accept? Al Gore?! Um, no. I think it would be appropriate if someone like Ai Weiwei who uses social media via the Internet and mobile in the name of peace and social justice to receive it. That's more conceivable.

Well put Sherri! Without the internet would a global community so easily accessible exist?

My vote is for the internet!

I agree there. My problem with it is that The Internet didn't actually do anything. It's just a tool that facilitated things.

Don't hate on the chipmunk! Seriously though, the internet has made some serious strides on really turning the world into a global community. It has helped to rally folks in away that would have been impossible years ago.

Well, I agreed with you until you mentioned Dramatic Chipmunk. Now I want the internet to win so we can see Dramatic Chipmunk accept a nobel prize. Genius idea.

I don't understand why The Internet should win a prize. It's not an individual or even an organization. Who is going to accept the award on it's behalf? Dramatic Chipmunk? Ashton Kutcher? I mean….come on.
