“Raspberry Pi is a credit card sized computer. It does everything that a conventional computer can do, but it’s very small and very cheap”

[expand title=”In detail”] Eben and his team are the magicians behind this incredible device. It’s a credit-card sized computer with very few of the features you imagine a computer would have and it’s designed to plug into things we already own, television, a mouse, a network. It’s powered using a mobile phone charger and storage is on an SD card. Eben has also held the post of Director of Studies for Computer Science at St John’s College, Cambridge. He holds a BA in Physics and Engineering, a PhD in Computer Science and an Executive MBA, all from the University of Cambridge.[/expand]
