What you say is good and true, but it's important to remember that even behind the subsidization aspect others allude to, more uses of RasPi -> more things the child receiving it can do -> more appealing the device will be in his eyes -> dedicate more time educating himself using it.

At least that was the general theme of my computer usage as a kid. Games were fun, but they also drew me to spend more time and educate myself about "controlling the beast".
- imperialWicket 15y agoI definitely agree, and I probably didn't qualify my statements enough. I just wanted to highlight some caution because a lot of times hackers want to really push hardware and technology to its limits. This is great, but to a newcomer, I think some of these projects can be so challenging that they end up driving users away. It's a valid point that having example uses/projects that cover the widest possible array of options is ideal for inspiring the most use.
