Its unlikely clusters would help much in the situations you mentioned unless the software was written to use clusters and I haven't heard of clustered browsing or video-editing. That being said I would imagine RaspberryPis are good machines
for learning about clustering and distributed processing - I
believe there is a hat that will fit onto a normal pi that will
allow you to experiment with 4 raspberry pi Zeros so you are
talking about a cluster for less than £100 all in!. Having said
that you could probably set up a load of PiZeroWs as a cluster
without anything other the zeros themselves and a usb hub to power
them. However its probably best you try and understand what you can do with a cluster and looking into hadoop (a distributed file system), spark - (a distributed processing system) for some of the big-data stuff. Or perhaps clustered ray tracing for graphics generation and even AI on clusters. All of these will give you an insight into how some things can be distributed. I did some courses not long ago about big data and some on a thing called weka on futurelearn.com - you can do these for free and they're not a bad way of seeing why problems need clustering/distributing and paths to world domination!
