John Lennon Resurrected



Beatles legend John Lennon has made a television commercial 28 years after his death, resurrected using digital technology, urging people across North America to support a campaign by 'One Laptop per Child'. The charity is looking to deliver rugged, solar-powered laptop computers to the world's poorest children. Lennon's voice and video image tells viewers: 

"...Imagine every child no matter where in the world they were, could access a universe of knowledge. They would have a chance to learn, to dream, to achieve anything they want. I tried to do it through my music, but now you can do it in a very different way. You can give a child a laptop and more than imagine, you can change the world..." 

Donors can chose to either pay $199 to buy a laptop for a child in the Third World, or $399 to buy one for a child in the Third World and another for their own child...
