Don't you run into limitations of raspberry's real time capabilities with a task like this? A REAL, microcontroller based, appliance, which is connected through a serial port to any PC, would be more suitable.

Maybe it's because I'm old, but I do all this with email phone calls and text messages and it seems to me to do the job just fine. What is the advantage of using Facebook to keep in touch with people that I'm missing?

Make a catchy video, presenting the idea, create an kickstarter. Hope to get viral (hire an ad agency who can make that happen). Research the market. Know the market. Hire someone to build a sound business plan for you. Go begging for that

They really are not a good argument against genetic causes of heritability of lower IQ scores in other groups. Their example (if true) only serves to proof that in their cases low IQ was cause by environment, which as partial cause for low
