John Lennon is featured in a new TV commercial (see above) that began airing Christmas Day for One Laptop per Child (OLPC), a nonprofit organization working to provide children in the developing world access to a solar-power laptop computer.
The 30-second spot, which can be seen on the campaign's official website or YouTube, is called "A Message from John Lennon." Lennon's voice, simulated by an imitator, gives viewers about the potential impact the laptops would have for a child.
"Imagine every child 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," says the video image of Lennon in the ad.
