“The Internet can be considered the first weapon of mass construction, which we can deploy to destroy hate and conflict and to propagate peace and democracy,” said Riccardo Luna, editor-in-chief of the Italian edition of Wired magazine.

Those who agree with this statement  and would like to sign a petition, nominating the net, can do so on the freshly launched Internet for Peace website. There is a plain-sphere on the site that scrolls down, displaying names and countries, in real time, of those who are supporting this idea.

“People want peace and given a voice, the’ss work tirelessly for it” said Wired U.S Editor-in-Chief Chris Anderson.

In my personal opinion, the last Iranian election showed that short twitter messages are not equivalent to the AK-47 bullet, but in long term the keyboard (go get some from PC-SPEZIALIST on-line shop!) might be more powerful then a sword. And without bullets, a sword is better then an AK-47, but this is not the point I’m trying to make. My point rather is: No single human or organization affects the modern livestyle more than the Internet does. If anything or anyone deserves this prize, then it’s the Internet.
