Nobel Prize committee or Bill Gates Foundation need introduce a new 'Technological Innovation' prize in the world. This prize will award many innovative companies like Microsoft, Google, Sony and so on. Besides running a large corporation, these companies are coming into help for the broader community of the world. For example, Google translates, maps which are making international trades faster, Yahoo Answers making people sharing their knowledge in lightning speed or even HTC Sense who is restlessly innovating ideas.|||They can't figure out how to make one.|||You realize that nothing Microsoft has ever done would qualify for this right? That all they've done is refine and expanded another man's ideas. How can you seriously compare a new iphone with decoded man's genome? Oh look a moderately better search engine came out this year.
There are ones for Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine, which pretty much covers all the real sciences, so why introduce one in such a limited field? Nobels are awarded for the ideas that lead to inventions, not the inventions produced from those ideas.
The nobel covered the invention of superconductors, integrated circuits, the electron microscope, and the laser.
You want to give them for google maps. Not the idea of satellite mapping, but because google map makes those maps accessible to anyone.
Really?
Nobels are awarded for science, not the inventions that come from that science.|||There is the Turing Award, which is equivalent to the 'Nobel prize" for Computer Science.
Computer Science is what makes all the information technology above work!
Turing Award is not the Nobel Prize, but there probably should be one.
Turing Awards have been given since 1966.
Nobel Prizes have been given since 1901.
So, Computer Science is to "new" for a Nobel Prize category, but I'm sure we'll see it soon.
