I'm confused - he said its good for children who might not have a computer at home, but there is only an HDMI connection. What is the likelihood of a family not owning a PC - but does own a TV advanced enough for HDMI?
- ZeroGravitas 15y agoI think you'd be surprised how advanced and expensive some people's home entertainment systems are compared with some other parts of their lifestyle.
- jonsmock 15y agoAbsolutely agree. I help move some of the poorer families at our church, and I'm always astounded at where their money is spent. One family wore hand me down clothes and had little else in their house, but they had a 60"+ TV in their living room. Most families have a TV, and just about every TV you can purchase these days has HDMI. I'm incredibly sad when my teacher friends describe how few of their students have computers at home to do their work.
- elliottcarlson 15y agoIf you look at the actual site (http://www.raspberrypi.org/ http://www.raspberrypi.org/) it mentions Composite and HDMI video output under the tech specs.
- binarymax 15y agoThanks for pointing that out. I think this is a great project and hope it takes off. I would definitely buy one myself to play around with.
- vabole 15y agoI was also surprised by that. Personally, I do own both a computer and a smartphone, but I do not have the HDMI supporting TV.
