Encouraging the next generation of hackers
The article discusses a new British-based project to produce a credit-card sized computer and make it available for only £15/$25.
From the article:
"As you can see [the Raspberry Pi project] is coming from a very different direction to the traditional approach of computer philanthropy and I applaud it. Like many I grew up with the Spectrums, C64 and BBC Micros of this world. These were computers that, yes, you played games on but as soon as you turned them on you had an invitation to program. That little blinking cursor which was just crying out for a two line BASIC program to print "Hello World!" endlessly on your TV. I know it sounds like something out of a Monty Python sketch but this is part of the issue for children today. Growing up with computers now appears to mean having the ability to use a word processor or a paint program.
