I believe there might be some interesting results in using the RasPi as a kind of building block for massively parallel computing, but I find that path very hard to merge with the "ubiquitous computing" trend.
The later seems so much more promising from the point of view of "processing power available to the masses".
- jacquesm 12y agoMark Weisers world and the world of hacking have fairly little overlap, the RasPi is solidly in the hacking camp for now. I don't expect consumers to buy RasPi's anymore than I expect them to buy 1U servers or the racks to mount those in. Processing power available to the masses is intimately connected to mobile phones and tabs. RasPi's are only one small step removed from a girl or a guy wielding a soldering iron.
- lesingerouge 12y agoOn the other hand, you would expect consumers to buy hard drives and storing devices. So maybe that will be the way to go for processing power too?
