   The inventor of the internet, Al Gore should accept it.

   I hope they nominate empathy for the 2011 Nobel peace prize. I love that guy.

   I would think some old branch of the US military, or the academics behind ARPANet or something would be the ones to accept.

   That said, I don’t think the Internet should win. It is used for plenty of negative non peaceful things. Sure it has helped a lot of people, but there is an awful lot of illegal activity going on too.

      Hi Astrogirl. I think it is a good idea, but DARPA only had the first computer Network. It was not able to communicate with other computer Networks. I would also invite the Rand Corporation, the National Physical Laboritory from the UK and the major goal getter who actually started to try to make connection with the other three, the French scientific network Cyclades. From my understanding they all still exist.
