Former Beatle John Lennon is featuring in a charity's TV advertisement in the US, 28 years after his death. The singer has been brought back to life using digital technology for the One Laptop Per Child initiative. The charity aims to deliver tough, solar-powered computers to the world's poorest children. "Imagine every child, no matter where in the world they were, could access a universe of knowledge," Lennon is seen saying in the commercial. "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." Lennon was shot and killed in December 1980 as he and wife Yoko Ono arrived at their apartment building next to Central Park, New York. Ono has given her approval for the commercial, which will air on spots donated by broadcasters.
The One Laptop Per Child Foundation, created in 2005, started producing XO laptops late last year at a cost per machine of less than $200 (£135).

A poor child in Africa does not need a laptop. I'm pretty sure if I was a starving little child in Africa, I would want food so I wouldn't starve to death. Or water so I don't get dehydrated.
You're a kid for sure, as I said before, your daddy paid for your education but it was a waste I see. Keep playing games at PC, at least let other people have it.
