Raspberry Pi Causes Internet Phenomenon

If you think you're getting a delicious fruit flavoured pastry based desert, and instead get what appears to be an ordinary circuit board, you would be understandably unhappy. Of course, once you stop chewing it to see if it provides a similar supplement, your mood would increase due to the fact that Raspberry Pi is responsible for a phenomenon. And a bucket load of dessert based puns.

The difference an "E" can make.

What was originally planned to be sold as a cheap and simple educational tool is now being heralded of a device capable of making the next Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates. In fact, it's so popular that the website has crashed, and been forced become a low HTML static version of itself. Meaning that the next generations technological heroes could start off with that.

Of course, the fact that it comes with only a £22 price tag is no doubt helping the sales. The reason behind it's cheapness is that unlike other famous technological devices, is that Robert Mullins, co-founder of the Cambridge based company responsible for the Raspberry Pi wished to educate students on how to program, seeing the current education system as not effective enough.

The device comes with various ports, so it can run with keyboards, television screens, and audio jacks. It contains a rather impressive 256MB of RAM, and runs off Linux, making it compatible with Windows, Apple, and Google devices. Once a keyboard and screen have been attached, it's capable of writing programs usable on any computer, and even has internet access via an Ethernet port.

The technophiles among you are no doubt foaming at the mouth right now.
