Demise of an Idea and birth of another so called Java.

 Extract From the demise of an idea and birth of another so called java (sun microsystem). By now, the work on Oak had been significant but come the year 1993,people saw the demise of set-top boxes, interactive TV and the PDAs. A failure that completely ushered the inventors’ thoughts to be reinvented. Only a miracle could make the project a success now. And such a miracle awaited anticipation. NATIONAL CENTER FOR SUPERCOMPUTING APPLICATIONS (NCSA) had just unveiled its new commercial webbrowser for the internet the previous year. The focus of the team,now diverted towards where they thought the "next-wave" of computing would be−the internet. The team then divulged into the realms of creating the same embeddable technology to be used in the web browser space calling it AN APPLET −a small application. The teamnow neededa proper identity and they decided on naming the new technology they created Java ushering a new gen- eration of products for the internet boom. A by-product of the project was a cartoon named "DUKE"created by Joe Parlang which became its identity then.
