Java Technology in Your Future

The Java platform is widely available today; it's built into tens of millions of popular Web browsers, and can run applications on every modern hardware architecture and computer operating system.

Thousands of Java business applications and small Web-based programs ("applets") are also available right now. Many large enterprises are using Java technology and the network today to integrate their existing computing systems and to extend their business to customers, partners, and vendors on the network.

The near future promises even more: Internet screen phones that use Java technology will be available in stores soon. Also later this year, smart cards using the JavaTM CardTM platform will begin shipping in huge quantities. And in 1999, the Java platform is expected to begin appearing in bedrooms and living rooms on high-end TV set-top boxes built by TCI, the world's largest telecommunications company.
