Gordon Brown (talking at TED)  on global society, and how technology enables a global community to fundamentally change the world..he discusses how in future foreign policy should not be dictated by political elites, but instead should be run through listening to the public opinions of people who are blogging and using other online technologies to communicate across the world..he discusses combining the power of a global ethic  with the power of our ability to communicate and organise globally, with the challenges we now face, most of which are global in their nature, Brown gives the example of  climate change which  can not be solved in one country, nor can the financial crisis or terrorism…

The great project of our generation according to Brown , is to build for the first time out of a global ethic and out of our global ability to communicate and organise together, a truly global society, built on that ethic, but with institutions which can serve that global society and thus  make for a different future.
