these things could give a whole crop of kids totally the wrong
idea about what embedded programming is. Using a familiar platform is neat
because it means you can start from knowledge you already have but running a
full-blown timesharing OS just to control a few blinkenlights or whatever is
morally wrong.
Ubiquitous computing is not morally wrong.
There is nothing wrong with abundance.
Under this reasoning, we should arrest anyone with more food in their
cupboards/pantries than they can eat in a day.
Nonsense.
There is nothing virtuous about scarcity.
