Ebon Upton, founder of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, wanted to produce something that would get British schoolkids switched onto computers and coding in much the same way that the BBC microcomputer had in the 1980s. It was launched in February of 2012 as a means to an end. It’s the Raspberry Pi single-board computer.
What measures 3.5 inches by 2.2 inches by 0.7 inches (85mm by 56mm by 17mm) and has sales in excess of 30 million units? It’s the third best-selling general computer behind the PC and the Mac as well as the most successful British computer of all time.
