Emerging technologies don't have to be new. Take the $12 PC, for example. It’s already here in the shape of millions of Super Famicon clones all across the developing world. Hooked up to TVs, these game computers make ideal educational machines. Playpower is working with veterans of the demo scene and chiptune music composers to create a new generation of 8-bit educational games for these ultra-cheap PCs. These "TV Computers" have the same chipset as the old Apple II and the Commodore 64 do, which were machines that introduced computing to millions in North America and Europe.
