Yoko Ono: ‘John Lennon Would’ve Loved the Computer Age’


Do you think John would have been involved with all the progress we’ve made with technology?
“Oh, John would have been totally excited about the computer age, because that’s the kind of thing that John and I were dreaming of. Like the Smile Project [where Ono set out to make a film capturing a smile face of everyone in the world] – we were almost having that kind of format of, like, communication in our heads . . . It’s very interesting to think about, that John was a person in a rock group, and what they were doing was totally different from what I was doing, but he just jumped in. He was totally open.”
