Green-tech: Pocket Computer
Ever wondered when the post-modern micro technology everybody theorizes about, or that we see in the movies, would finally break into the real world consumer market? Well, no more waiting required. Introducing the Raspberry Pi, a credit card sized computer.
The Raspberry Pi is a PC that is slightly too large to fit into an Altoids container, that can complete many of the functions of a regular computer such as creating text documents, spreadsheets, and even playing HD/Blu-Ray quality video. The most astounding thing about this device, is actually it’s affordability.
As a charity based company, Raspberry Pi are offering two price points (based on memory size) for their product at $25 and $35 plus applicable taxes. Somehow, this brilliant little invention has been created at a very affordable price, all with the company’s vision of allowing accessible technology to young people to learn programming.
