I imagine the price being extremely low is a very useful factor when you are talking about giving every kid his own computer. With a Raspi, you can give your kid a decently powerful computer for around $100 (assuming you buy the keyboard, screen, mouse etc.).
- Maxious 15y agoJust like the computers of yore, the screen is the family TV. And USB keyboard/mouse are a couple of dollars second hand - I'd bet if UK school districts are anything like the ones I worked with in my youth, they have rooms filled with peripherals waiting to be recycled.
- mvanga 15y agoI had forgotten about the TV! I imagine a lot of people will go that route to save the money on a new monitor. Though, I think about the insane hours I spend tinkering with my computer when I was a kid and it makes me wonder how many parents would be happy to let their children go on tinkering for hours like that on the commong family screen!
