"The world's most wondrous wonder is actually the computer [LA Times, by Tracy Wilkinson, July 8, 2007]
This quote about the 2007 campaign shows how much computers have an impact on that kind of lists. Indeed, this machine is able to bring together the voices of 100 million people, if not more. So it's in a way the 8th Wonder of the World!
But there is a huge failure in the system. For example, in Tanzania, you can vote for Mount Kilimanjaro, but the Internet is not really developed. On the other side of the world, US citizens can vote for the Grand Canyon, but in this country, most homes possess one or two computers. So considering that, generally, countries vote for themselves, you notice a major problem ; the vote is really the people's choice, but it can turn very unfair.
