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?

An Intel researcher, Beverly Harrison, is designing computers that bridge the virtual and real worlds. Harrison feels there is a better way to interact with computers besides, "logging into the box." Read about the projects Harrison is currently working on in this article.
Do you think human-computer interactions, such as the ones described in this article, could become commonplace and part of our daily lives in the future?
