I cannot agree (I mean I do from a pure techie point of view) but last week I got my hands in a Raspberry PI for the first time and knocked up a traffic light demo for a school in Python, with LEDs directly shoved into the ribbon cable.

I have not been so child-like excited for years.

by throwing a wasteful amount of computing power into just turning on a light, we put this in the reach of more and more people.

we could have web servers in assembly language, and it would be more efficient use of computing resources - but that's not been the optimal way and it won't be here either
