The future is shrinking...

As time goes on, we expect technology's advancements to see electrical products and computers get smaller and cheaper. But how far do we expect that to go? Well apparently, pretty far!

Enter a new piece of technology the size of a USB flash memory drive that could help children discover and learn how to program computers.

Raspberry Pi, developed by games developer David Braben and his colleagues is a whole computer on a tiny circuit board, made with an ARM processor, USB port and an HDMI connection, and will cost only $25, or £15.

So is that tiny little thing all we need for a computer? Is this the future for computers? I can't imagine having such a small and delicate looking thing being my actual computer, but I suppose it's the same technology in the back of an iMac, just drastically shrunk!
