I think the biggest positive aspect of widespread distribution of raspberry pi and devices like it is to ward off the fear from adults in the school system.<p>If the school board comes out and says, we&#x27;re purchasing these things for an entire district - this is an official movement from the school board top down - the governor signed off on this and we&#x27;re getting these out to every single kid in our schools, teachers can no longer point to microelectronics and say that it&#x27;s a bomb.<p>Hopefully fewer students get sent to the police station for tinkering with electronics.
