The new 07 wonders announced on 07/07/07 is everywhere on the web now. They call it new seven wonders of the world but it is actually not because of the following reasons.

  1. They selected them based on the votes they received. Anyone can vote freely once via online. But what about the people who don’t have access to the web?
  2. If someone want to vote more than once they can do it through SMS and telephone. For every call and SMS, an additional amount of money is charged. This restricts the votes to more rich people.
  3. The voting process was available in only 12 languages and the people who don’t speak these languages have been neglected.
  4. This is just a popularity contest and the scientific and educational work has been neglected.
  5. People voted for their country not for the wonder if something from their country was on the list. For example their was a campaign in Brazil called Vote no Cristo (Vote for the Christ) to vote the Christ the Redeemer Statue and now it’s a wonder.

So now you can see how unreasonable and illogical selection is this. There may be more things that you know regarding this matter and you may have your own opinion. Please share it with others.
