Raspberry pi can do everything a desktop computer does, including accessing the internet.
The raspberry pi can communicate with the outside world and has been used in variety of
digital maker projects.
Raspberry pi is also used in music machines and parent detectors, as well as weather
stations and tweeting bird houses with infrared cameras.
Raspberry pi uses cases
1. Desktop computer
A simple desktop can be built using a raspberry pi, a micros SD card and power source.
An HDMI cable and a suitable display such as an old monitor are also required, you also
need a USB keyboard and mouse.
2. Robotics controller
There are numerous raspberry pi robot-controller projects. A specific robotics package for
pi is available, which is powered by the device battery and can be used to interface with
control robots.
3. Printing
With raspberry pi we can print everything. All we shall need a raspberry pi that is
connected to your home network, as well as printer server software. This is accomplished
by installing the samba file sharing program, than CUPS (common UNIX printing
system).
4. Game server
The basic operating system for raspberry pi has a special version of the Minecraft game
pre-installed. Raspberry pi application can be used as a game server .it’s fantastic
Minecraft game server a wonder full gaming experience can be created by using raspberry
pi.
5. Game machine
As a retro gaming machine raspberry pi is perfedt.it is one of the machine lightest

It is the size of a credit card.
Its inexpensive
Its usage as a server is more efficient than using a regular server.
It is ideal for adaptive technology.
It is can be used for small businesses.
Raspberry pi disadvantage
1. It is not a computer replacement. And the processor is not as fast, downloading and
installing software takes time, so you will not be able to do intricate multitasking.
2. Other operating systems such as widows are incompatible.
3. This product can’t be beneficial of larger businesses that already have large server that
can perform all of the tasks that the raspberry pi can.
4. As a result it would not be worth it, and putting everything together take time.
