RaspberryPi (Journal entry 11)

For the raspberry Pi project I am part of group A which means I will be taking my assessment grade for this project. However, if I were to create something with the raspberry pi, I would like to download the OpenELEC operating system to my pi and Create a device that can turn any tv into a smart TV. Once this is finished, I would connect the pi to the internet via an ethernet cable and connect the pi to the TV via HDMI. At this point, all I would need would be to plug in the Pi to power and connect a mouse/keyboard via USB which would be used to control the Pi and select which movie/TV show I would want to watch. The primary reason I would want to create this project is because my grandmother has only been using a TV that can get channels through antennas for as long as I can remember. For some reason she refuses to pay for cable TV and had never upgraded to a smart TV. With my RaspberryPi creation I could solve her problems and finally give her something good to watch!

The picture above is what I would do with the RaspberryPi. However, instead of OSMC I would install openELEC because of how easily accessible many dangerous features in OSMC are and instead of using a computer monitor I would use a TV.
