Raspberry Pi : Agent of Change. The Raspberry Pi project reminds us…
Unanticipated success

The idea seems to have worked — and then some. Initial demand saw several hundred people a second registering interest with production partners of the project. Over the first weeks, over two million people pre-ordered the tiny computers — many were caught up in the excitement and had no idea what they might use the computers for — they still don’t know.

The success of the Raspberry Pi caught everybody off guard — spawning school computer programming clubs, an explosion in the “maker” community, and copy-cat hardware projects throughout the world. This year has seen the launch of the “Raspberry Pi 400” — a return to the 8 bit form factor roots of those who flagged the skills gap and designed the Pi. It has sold-out almost everywhere in the run-up to Christmas.
