With technology's advancement, the internet is become available to more people each day. As of March 31, 2011, Over 2 billion people were connected to the internet.


Soon, there may be even more people connected to the world wide web. This invention, called the Raspberry Pi, is a functional $25 computer that runs on Linux and is the size of a USB drive. Granted, one would still need a monitor, keyboard, and mouse of their own, but this is extremely cheap and could be extremely practical.

I was skeptical of how well this "ultra-low-cost" computer would work, but then I found some videos such as this, showing it can run computer games and apparently output 1080p video.

What do you think? Could Raspberry Pi make an impact on the world?

    A fascinating development! The development of low cost computing will lead to an explosion of democracy, creativity, and user innovation to the rest of the world's 7 billion people. The future looks bright!
