Internet for Peace

Internet is nominated for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize. The movement supporting this candidacy, Internet for Peace , claims that Internet« is an endless web of people. Men and women from every corner of the globe are connecting to one another, thanks to the biggest social interface ever known to humanity.Digital culture has laid the foundations for a new kind of society.»

The idea has been initiated by Riccardo Luna, in Wired, a ICT magazine.

Some argue in favor, some argue against it because of some aspects of internet are consumer-oriented.

However, I believe that the extraordinary impact of internet is social and political. Walls and frontiers are falling apart, collaboration and sharing of ideas is possible for all.The opportunity has been given to Iranians and others around the world to express their voice.

Curiously enough, I found about Internet for Peace on a traditional news media: the independant newspaper Le Devoir, in today's edition ( April, 30th).

PS: Sorry for the delay ! Just realized that these news came out in internet in February...
