I am sorry, but I hate to give human status to any artifact.... even the Internet... And Nobel prize is for human beings, maybe the best among them or whatever..... Next we may hear is that 'the Internet has rights'..... not  at all going in good directions if you ask me :)

(At a recent conf i was given this T shirt - dont think what the Internet can do you you - think what you can do to the Internet -- this kind of expressions almost scare me, and make me feel belittled as a human being in front of a 'system'... Well if we are insistent on going down that path then lets give noble prize to the 'system' instead, the all powerful one)

	We have to be pragmatic, the Nobel Prize to the net could be useful to 
	recognize it as a commons, the wider public space in the human history, not 
	a new  infrastructure after telegraph, telephon, radio, television and PC. This is why we need an extension of the rights in 
	a new way: multilevel and multistakeholder. I know what I say under 
	Berlusconi's Government  the freedom of expression on the net is in peril. 
	With Stefano Rodotà and many other we gathered 400.000 signatures under an 
	appeal against an awful proposal of law and this time we won. Ready to the next one :)

	I of course agree with Jean, although perhaps I would not phrase it as bluntly :)
