Interesting. I'm inclined to agree but I pause when I read that Scott Aaronson still seems to hold the line on quantum computing not doing anything too useful for NP-complete or a useful subset. The weight of opinion seems against him on quantum though he remains empirically correct for the foreseeable future.

OpenCV on PI2 is achievable. You ain't gonna get there with Arduino Amtel microprocessors.

PI2 is a full environment and wee little quad-core + GPU power house and not too bad for programming especially with wiringPI, but Arduino is simpler and much more practical to learn stuff on. You can get kids in primary school doing Arduino which is not really going to happen easily with PI.

Both are pretty cheap, but Arduino is cheaper.

Really not sure how Oxford put DBA in the likely NOT endangered by automation list.

Perhaps the Luddites were right. Chop wood. Carry water.
